10/3
Followed up bumper success with back-to-back hurdles wins but disappointed when turned over at odds-on latest (Ludlow, 15.8f), hung left and carried head awkwardly. Return to left-handed track and step up in trip may help and this point winner is respected on chase debut for top connections.

Fell on both starts in points. Chased home useful sort on hurdles bow prior to a workmanlike success on stable debut at Worcester (2m). Outclassed in the Persian War but capitalised on drop in grade (following wind surgery) to land a Taunton novice (19f) last month. Makes appeal on chase debut.

Followed up bumper success with maiden hurdle win at Worcester over a longer trip (23f). Best run to date on second outing in handicap company when runner-up at Perth (20f) last month in first-time tongue tie, beaten by a progressive one. Open to further improvement now chasing.

Forecasts

King Roly (5/4), Handlethekettle (6/4), Bond Broker (10/3)

Verdict

Of the trio of chase debutants, HANDLETHEKETTLE is preferred having shown fairly useful form when recording a second hurdles win last month, looking a more straightforward prospect than main danger Bond Broker, who hung left when disappointing in his bid for a hat-trick last time.
