Took his form up a notch with headgear enlisted last term, winning 3 on the spin. Not so good this season, however, markedly so last twice.

Endured a long losing for Iain Jardine but made his second start for Sandy Thomson a winning one at Kelso in November. Found a class 2 too demanding at Musselburgh on New Year's Day but should make much more of an impact here.

10/1
Hurdles winner at Ffos Las last spring and returned to form back chasing when scoring at Ayr in January. Never looked like following up there since but this looks less competitive. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Showed improved form switched to front-running tactics last season, landing a hat-trick over C&D between May and November. Below form since, however, and possibly not straightforward these days.

Winner of this race 2 years ago and also scored over C&D 12 months ago. Has offered little this season but still worth keeping an eye on in the betting all the same.

Ex-pointer who took a step forward to open his account at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, responding well to front-running tactics. Can go well again.

Forecasts

Flash Du Pistolet (8/13), Escapeandevade (6/1), Bollingerandkrug (6/1), Lively Citizen (10/1), Gold Des Bois (10/1), Duty Calls (22/1)

Verdict

FLASH DU PISTOLET showed some improvement when an all-the-way winner at Newcastle last time and appeals as the most likely winner up against exposed rivals. Gold des Bois is feared most back down in class.
