Very useful at his best for Harry Fry and starting to look well handicapped. Interesting on first run for a stable which has been doing well with new recruits. Market confidence significant.

Disappointing on chase debut in May but wasted no time resuming his progression back hurdling, winning C&D handicap 19 days ago by 5 lengths from Ukantango. A 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

C&D winner last August. Should be spot on for this after a couple of Flat runs in recent months.

Better than ever last summer, including a Perth win over this trip. Off since pulling up at Hereford in October, though, and got to be a chance he'll need this.

Won 2 handicap hurdles for Donald McCain last spring and successful in claimers at Catterick and Fakenham for Archie Watson this spring. Last of 4 in a Bangor chase on recent debut for this yard but may fare better back hurdling.

Took a step back in the right direction after wind surgery (also tongue refitted) when 5 lengths second of 5 to the reopposing Handlethekettle over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago. Player.

Off since December but made a successful reappearance last July so evidently capable when fresh and stable among the winners.

Forecasts

Handlethekettle (6/4), Ukantango (3/1), Get The Value (7/2), My Chiquita (13/2), The Height Of Fame (7/1), Galata Bridge (8/1), Might I (12/1), Collingham (50/1)

Verdict

HANDLETHEKETTLE is taken to confirm last month's C&D superiority over Ukantango and make if 4 wins in his last 5 starts over hurdles. Might I has plenty of class for this grade and would also firmly enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong on first outing for Faye Bramley.
