Fair ex-Irish 2m4f winning hurdler for Terence O'Brien. Returns after 6 months off but can't be discounted with his new yard going well.

Resumed with a good second at Fontwell but only fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle there (21.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

11/4
Low-mileage sort who posted a very good fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle over C&D when last seen out 6 months ago. That form worked out well so she's very much one to consider on her reappearance.

C&D winner who returned from 8 months off with a solid fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Firmly in the picture now back up in trip.

17/2
Modest maiden hurdler who came in only eighth of 11 for her new yard in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Needs to take a step forward in refitted cheekpieces.

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who offered little in a trio of runs for Sam England, sixth of 10 in handicap at Hexham (20.1f, good) on his debut over in May. Starts out for another new stable now with cheekpieces added.

Modest maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited after 8 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) in May. Possibilities after another break here.

100/1
Poor maiden hurdler. Back with former yard and blinkered for the first time when a well-held fifth of 6 in handicap at Stratford (18.7f, good) 17 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Matchadam (5/2), Briery Butterfly (11/4), Ebony Jade (4/1), Sun Joy (11/2), Olivia Kate (15/2), Isabel De Clare (17/2), Bossofthebus (16/1), Believe A Little (100/1)

Verdict

BRIERY BUTTERFLY signed off last term with a very good fourth over C&D and with that form having been franked she is taken to make a winning return off the same mark here. Evan Williams has his string in good nick so his Bossofthebus could emerge as the main danger to Henry Daly's mare, ahead of in-form pair Olivia Kate and Matchadam.
