5/1
Building up a solid record over hurdles, returning from 5 months off to score readily at Stratford under Charlie Maggs 3 weeks ago. Should remain very competitive off 5 lb higher.

Lightly-raced 6-y-o who made it 2-2 over hurdles in 23f Uttoxeter novice on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Looks well treated for handicap debut with further progress very much on the cards.

Won handicap chase and hurdle around 3m last November. Good third of 12 in 3m Chepstow handicap on reappearance 16 days ago. Ought to be in the mix from an unchanged mark.

11/4
Bumper winner who showed fair form in maiden/novice hurdles for Nicky Henderson last season. Has switched to Sam Thomas for his handicap career and has a first-time visor and tongue tie fitted. Appeals as one who should have more to offer.

In good heart when runner-up twice around 3m last spring but could only manage a remote fourth at Uttoxeter when last seen at the end of May. Sports a first-time tongue tie on his return to action.

Better than ever when snapping a 15-month losing run at Wetherby (3m, good to firm) 12 days ago. 6 lb higher now so another career best will be needed to follow up.

10/1
Bumper winner who came good at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when seeing off 5 rivals in a 23f Uttoxeter maiden in March, proving well suited by the step up in trip. Could have more to offer as his stamina is drawn out.

Added to his tally at Exeter (23f, heavy) in January. Ended his season with 3 poor runs but the good form of the Jamie Snowden stable provides the hope for better on reappearance.

Forecasts

Doctor Kildare (11/4), Court In A Storm (7/2), Serious Chat (5/1), Idefix De Ciergues (13/2), Jack Sprat (17/2), Kiss My Face (10/1), Stone's Throw (10/1), Kaituna River (16/1)

Verdict

COURT IN A STORM is completely unexposed and could easily be ahead of this opening mark. Fellow low-mileage sort Doctor Kildare is also a possible improver in handicaps for new trainer Sam Thomas and is second choice ahead of Serious Chat, a C&D scorer with a steadily progressive profile.
