Down in weights when doubling his tally for the season at Musselburgh (15.8f) in November before a good second at Ayr. However, comfortably held next 2 starts so needs to raise his game again.

On a losing run (maiden over fences) and whilst he ran up to his best, he was seemingly outbattled when close-up third of 6 in handicap chase here (17f) in September. Fell heavily following month and off since.

Endured a long losing for Iain Jardine but made his second start for Sandy Thomson a winning one here in November. However, below par both starts since so something to prove all of a sudden.

Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Decent start over fences but well held last 2 starts. Needs to bounce back.

Hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons but has shaped well both starts for new yard since returning to action on Boxing Day, latterly departing 2 out at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) where he looked the most likely winner. Needs considering.

Won 17f handicap chase at Cartmel in August. Also a good second at Kelso in September. Unable to cash in on a lower hurdle mark in his 4 outings since but player back in this sphere.

Mixed record for the last 2 seasons though in better form than recent form figures suggest, shaping best for a long way when fifth at Carlisle 2 weeks ago. Considered off the same mark with tongue strap applied.

Ex-pointer who took a step forward to open his account at Newcastle and followed up with a career best here (17f). Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Irish point recruit who landed a 2m Ayr novice hurdle on Rules debut last December. Hasn't kicked on but step back in the right direction when third in this headgear at Newcastle. Remains unexposed.

Forecasts

Flash Du Pistolet (13/8), High Moon (9/2), Ozzy Cosmo (7/1), Andys Flame (8/1), Fete Champetre (17/2), Chapel Green (10/1), Restandbethankful (11/1), Garde Des Champs (14/1), Gold Des Bois (40/1)

Verdict

The thriving FLASH DU PISTOLET is fancied to complete the hat-trick given the manner of his win here last month. Fete Champetre looked the most likely winner before falling at Ayr so is next best ahead of Restandbethankful, who remains of interest back over fences.

  1. Flash Du Pistolet13/8
  2. Fete Champetre17/2
  3. Restandbethankful11/1
