Much improved since sent over fences last term, signing that campaign off with a stylish front-running victory at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) last March. However, his efforts so far this season have left much to be desired, with an alarming display of temperament in evidence at Sandown last time.

Talented when on song but he was pulled up for the third time in his last 5 runs in a handicap chase at Wincanton (26.7f, soft) on latest start in January. Percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles and bettered that form, albeit somewhat fortuitously, when making a winning start over fences at Newton Abbot on return in October. Little in the way of positives to take from his 2 subsequent efforts, though, and now finds himself with a bit to prove.

Veteran performer who has dipped below his last winning mark and shaped as though back on the right track when fourth of 13 over hurdles at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) last month. Very much of interest back in this sphere.

3/1
Listed bumper winner who opened hurdles account at Ludlow in 2023. Off the mark at the second attempt in this sphere when taking a Huntingdon handicap in November, and produced her best effort since when runner-up at Southwell (24.3f, good) recently. Couldn't rule out.

Useful chaser at his best for Noel Meade/Gordon Elliott in Ireland but has struggled for current yard this season, again failing to see things out at Lingfield last time. Others preferred.

Easily opened his chase account over this C&D last March and positive start to this season when placed in handicaps at Chepstow and Exeter. Blinkers swiftly refitted after a poor effort tried in a visor at Bangor and it would be no surprise were this 9-y-o to bounce back with a bold show.

It's been a struggle since his narrow reappearance success at Stratford in October but he was in the process of putting in a good shift when exiting 2 out at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) last time. Could have a say off the same mark here, granted a clear round.

Forecasts

Rouge De L'quest (9/4), Lilting Verse (3/1), Livin On Luco (15/2), Balkardy (8/1), Classic Concorde (8/1), Top Of The Bill (10/1), Take Your Time (11/1), Diol Ker (16/1)

Verdict

Having shaped as though working his way back to form over hurdles last time, CLASSIC CONCORDE is of strong interest returned to fences off an attractive mark. He gets the nod ahead of Rouge de L'Quest, who didn't appear to take kindly to the visor on his latest start but the blinkers are now refitted and he could have a big part to play. Balkardy is best of the rest.
