Placed in maiden/handicap hurdles over this trip here in the spring. Off 4 months left impression outing just needed when 8¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Lightkeeper and King Roly on C&D chase debut (good) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should have more to offer but is 3 lb out of handicap.

Forecasts

King Roly (10/11), Inox Allen (9/4), Chief Sunday (10/3), Lightkeeper (5/1), Frisby (11/2)

If INOX ALLEN is in the same mood as when dominating a similar race over C&D in the spring an 11 lb rise may not prevent him following up. King Roly can turn around recent C&D form with Lightkeeper and fill the forecast spot.
