6/5

Point winner who was progressive over hurdles last season, winning 3 times in handicaps. Looked set to make a successful start in this discipline before some ragged late jumping caught her out when second at Plumpton 33 days ago and she's well worth another chance.

Form: 41121-2

22/1

Found the competition far too hot in the Foxhunters at Cheltenham in March and, equipped with a visor, he ran out after the seventh in hunter chase back at that venue 42 days ago. Others make much more appeal making handicap chase debut.

Form: 153P0-R

4/5

Registered back-to-back chase victories at Wincanton/Warwick for Gary & Josh Moore this spring and confirmed he remains in top form on debut for new yard when second of 6 in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) 12 days ago. Hood on 1st time and big player provided he keeps the errors at bay.

Form: P311-U2

Forecasts

Abingworth (4/5), Smugglers Haven (6/5), Genois (10/1), Au Fleuron (22/1)

A progressive 3-time winner over hurdles, SMUGGLERS HAVEN found a couple of ragged leaps costing her when run out of things late on sent chasing at Plumpton 33 days ago. She's well worth another chance and shades the vote ahead of Abingworth, who looks sure to have a part to play following a good recent stable debut second at Fakenham.
