5/4

Low-mileage hurdler who scored at Chepstow (23.6f) in March but signed off with a modest ninth in 3m Ayr handicap following month. This winning pointer is the sort to do well over fences though. Interesting.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 107

13/8

A fair 23f winner over hurdles at Hexham in May but he came in only fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to firm) on his debut over fences 21 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 33-12F5

11/4

Resumed winning ways in 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las 7 days ago. Switches to chasing now and can't be discounted in his current mood.

Forecasts

Histrionic (5/4), Pike Road (13/8), Yes Day (9/4), D'jo Dela Barriere (11/4)

None of the quartet can be ruled out but it could pay to side with Paul Nicholls' winning Irish pointer HISTRIONIC to return in style and make a successful start in this sphere. Yes Day rates a big danger provided he is none the worse for a heavy recent fall over C&D, while both D'Jo Dela Barriere and Pike Road can have a say too.
