Capable sort on his day and stepped up on yard debut 4 months on when fifth at Uttoxeter 5 days ago. Bit to prove back in this sphere, though. Headgear back on.

Took well to fences last term and resumed winning ways back from a break at Cartmel 5 weeks ago, looking suited by the drop back in trip. Can defy 6 lb rise.

Out of form when last seen over fences but scored over hurdles here off this mark 10 days ago after 5 months off. Not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Shillanavogy (6/5), Feel The Pinch (9/4), In The Air (9/2), Nevendon (15/2), Chilinlikeavillain (66/1)

Verdict

SHILLANAVOGY looked better than ever when resuming winning ways at Cartmel 5 weeks ago and this looks another good opportunity. Feel The Pinch scored over hurdles off this mark here on his return 10 days ago and is the obvious threat.

  1. Shillanavogy6/5
  2. Feel The Pinch9/4
  3. In The Air9/2
