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.

66/1
Maiden hurdle winner for Dan Skelton in 2022. Successful in a point in January but no show in 2 hunter chases both starts for Bowen stable.
|
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.
|
Got off the mark over fences at Southwell in October but a below par last 2 starts in this sphere, including at Bangor 6 weeks ago when fit from the Flat. Headgear on first time.

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