4/1
Opened hurdles account in a 24.3f handicap here last June and posted best effort since when runner-up back here last month, pulling well clear of the rest. Failed to complete both starts between the flags but will have a serious chance granted a good round of jumping on this chase debut.

9/2
Successful twice over hurdles since equipped with a visor/switched to handicap company, the latest gained over 24.3f here back from a break in October. However, his jumping let him down at Wincanton later that month, which has to be a worry ahead of this chase debut.

9/1
Point winner last spring but remains winless following 17 attempts under Rules and while a reproduction of her good second at Catterick 3 starts back would put her in the picture, she needs to bounce back from a below-par display at Doncaster last time.

Won only start in Irish points and showed a bit more than he did in half-a-dozen starts over hurdles when fourth of 7 on last month's chase debut here (20.4f, good to soft). May well build on that now upped in trip.

9/1
Five-time winner between the flags and, though yet to trouble the judge following 6 runs under Rules, he wasn't disgraced back from a 14-month absence when fourth in a Huntingdon handicap chase (23.6f, good). 3 lb lower now and could have a part to play if the first-time visor gives him a lift.

13/2
Winning handicap hurdler who showed plenty to work on sent chasing at Taunton (23f, good to soft) in January. Hasn't gone on from that in 2 subsequent starts in this sphere but the handicapper has been quick to show mercy and he's not one ro write off juet yet.

Little to shout about in various race-types so far, tailed off and eventually pulled up when making chase debut at Carlisle (21f, good) last time.

Point winner who has finished in the money on 4 of his 9 starts over fences. Each-way chance if he resumes in top form following 15 months off.

Forecasts

Small Town Hero (15/8), Ballyvaughan Bay (4/1), No More No (9/2), Whynotnowroy (13/2), Baby Chou (9/1), The Whistle Blower (9/1), Deadly Missile (14/1), Stonegate (50/1)

Verdict

Provided BALLYVAUGHAN BAY's jumping passes the test on his first start over fences, he could be the answer. The 8-y-o has posted his best hurdles efforts at this course and conditions are in his favour. Small Town Hero is taken to build on his chase debut and emerge as the main danger ahead of The Whistle Blower.

  1. Ballyvaughan Bay4/1
  2. Small Town Hero15/8
  3. The Whistle Blower9/1
