15/8

Useful hurdler who bagged a pair of 2½m handicaps at Musselburgh and Southwell last winter. Ended the term under something of a cloud but still can't be ruled out after a break switched to fencing.

Form: 11D360-

Forecasts

In The Air (2/5), All The Glory (15/8), My Friend Sean (9/4), Starcrossed Lover (3/1), Tintintin (7/2), The Kemble Brewery (4/1), Ben Solo (10/1)

All bar one of these have their first go over fences. Neil Mulholland's STARCROSSED LOVER made up into a fairly useful winning hurdler last season and appeals as the sort to do better still in this sphere so could prove to be the answer at the chief expense of fellow chasing newcomer My Friend Sean. In The Air seems sure to put his experience to good use and can also have a say in an intriguing contest.
