Jumps Look Better On RacingTV Handicap Hurdle

Beaten when coming down in both starts for current yard and can only be watched at present.

Completed a hat-trick over hurdles last term and made positive return to this sphere when good second of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Likely player.

No real impact on level or over hurdles in recent starts and makes limited appeal despite sliding appreciably down the weights. Visor back on.

Bumper winner who ran with credit on several occasions over hurdles last term, including when second of 8 in handicap at Fontwell (21.8f, heavy) when last seen in February. Warrants respect on return to action.

Well-related sort who didn't progress as expected over hurdles for Nicky Henderson and despite arriving fit from a win in points, he was below his best on stable debut when a well-held fourth in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) in April. Remains with plenty to prove on his return.

Found improvement when sent handicapping last season, ending campaign with good third of 13 at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft, 10/3) in February. Remains low mileage and enters calculations here.

Caused a surprise when winning 4-runner novice at Plumpton in January. Couldn't back that up next time, however, and finished well held in recent pipe-opener on Flat at Brighton.

Been through several yards and matched best form over hurdles when second of 10 in handicap at Newton Abbot (16.8f) for Joe Tizzard 16 months ago. Since joined new stable and market may prove best guide to claims on return.

Won here last term before acquitting himself well in a handful of starts over fences. Returns to hurdling off a fair mark and can make presence felt here.

In good hands but has finished nearer last than first in all 3 starts over hurdles thus far. No surprise if improvement is forthcoming on handicap bow but his opening mark could have been kinder.

Yet to make a real impact over timber and looks on a stiff mark given what he has achieved thus far.

A fair hurdles/chase winner at his best but he's been below par this term, including at this course the last twice.
