Modest form in 3 qualifying runs but with a leading stable and no surprise were he to leave those efforts behind now handicapping in cheekpieces. All the more interesting if backed.

Modest maiden. Off 7 months, shaped as if retaining ability when fifth of 12 in 19f Stratford handicap 11 days ago. Steps back up significantly in trip.

Belatedly opened account when edging home in front at Newton Abbot (21.5f, good) during the summer. Runner-up on next 2 starts and stamina seemed stretched when a distant fourth on deep ground at Plumpton latest (likely still in form).

Little promise in a bumpers/maiden hurdles but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. Fitted with a first-time hood.

No form in bumper (for Christian Williams) or in 3 maiden hurdles for Simon Hodgson (ridden by new trainer every time). Cheekpieces go on now returning for handicap debut. Engaged 3.25 Ffos Las Sunday.

Three-time winner over fences for Chris Grant and left his first 3 runs for this yard behind when resuming winning ways in 23f Worcester chase last month. 2 lb lower back hurdling.

Placed on first of 3 starts in Irish points but poor form at best over hurdles, including beaten over 20 lengths in 2 handicaps last month.

Forecasts

Bollin Thou (9/4), Final Straw (11/4), Bebside Banter (10/3), Hurst Hill (9/1), Avada Kedavra (11/1), Needtoknow (11/1), Harksman (16/1), Solid Fuel (40/1), Glorious Mist (50/1)

Verdict

The suggestion is Nicky Henderson handicap newcomer FINAL STRAW, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Bebside Banter runs off 2 lb below the mark he defied over fences at Worcester last month and is second choice ahead of Hurst Hill.

  1. Final Straw11/4
  2. Bebside Banter10/3
