Latest win in hurdle at Taunton in December. 7/2, below-form third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good) 156 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Completed a hat-trick in 5-runner handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, heavy) 50 days ago, quickening clear. Switches to hurdles and weighted to complete a four-timer.

9/4
Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good, 13/2) 44 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip and not ruled out.

Forecasts

Jack's Jury (9/4), Hostile Hotelier (3/1), Puddlesinthepark (9/2), Despereaux (6/1), Jullou De Grissay (7/1), Faded Fantasy (17/2)

Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but PUDDLESINTHEPARK reverts to hurdles on a handy-looking mark so is fancied to extend his winning run to four. Sedgefield runner-up Hostile Hotelier is also weighted to go well and is next on the list ahead of Faded Fantasy and Jullou de Grissay.
