Built on Cheltenham bumper debut promise when third at Market Rasen first time up over hurdles but failed by a long chalk to repeat that on both subsequent outings. This switch to a handicap may well see him in a better light after a 3-month break and the equipment is left off (had wind op).

Multiple Flat winner who made it thirteenth time lucky in this sphere in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) 4 weeks ago, probably helped by being kept closer to the pace than usual. Just 4 lb higher and fancied to go well again.

Little promise in a bumper and 4 completed starts over hurdles, including on handicap debut over C&D last month. Worth a check on the betting given connections but hard to see her involved on what she's done on the track.

Related to winners but has no solid form to his name, first-time cheekpieces not doing the trick sent handicapping from 3 lb out of the weights when last seen 6 months ago.

Dual winner of 1½m AW handicaps on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes last winter but little show on first 3 hurdle runs for new stable in recent months. However, he made more impact than previously starting out in handicaps when sixth of 9 at Wincanton (19.8f, good) last month and may build on that.

Showed ability in bumpers in Ireland but no show 4 starts over hurdles (handicap debut latest). Had a 4-month break and will need to leave previous efforts behind.

4/6
Failed to complete both starts in points and well held over hurdles. However, he showed first worthwhile form to comfortably land a gamble on just his second ever chase start in 7-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (21f, heavy) 3 days ago and could take some stopping reverted to timber.

Forecasts

Pooroldmackley (4/6), Mr Zee (3/1), Zarhanya (11/1), Pooley's Promise (14/1), Golden Moonshake (20/1), Bradman (20/1), Fan Magnet (33/1)

Verdict

POOROLDMACKLEY showed his first worthwhile form to comfortably land a gamble on just his second ever chase start at Newton Abbot on Saturday and, provided this doesn't come too soon, Evan Williams' 6-y-o gets the nod to follow up reverted to the smaller obstacles. Heading up the dangers is Mr Zee, who made it thirteenth time lucky in this sphere at Taunton 4 weeks ago, with Zarhanya rounding off the shortlist.
