Got off the mark under Rules after 7 months off in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in May, but has failed to come close to matching that level of form in 2 subsequent starts. Hopes now pinned on the addition of a visor working the oracle.

Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland and opened hurdles account on handicap debut in this sphere at Huntingdon in March 2024. Rather hit-and-miss since, but he will be a live each-way contender if on a going day.

Went close to snapping his losing run when second in 3¼m handicap chase at Uttoxeter in July. Hasn't backed that effort up since, though, and this 10-y-o is essentially opposable.

8/1
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who took a step forward when second of 4 in novice at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) in March. However, he went out like a light on return/handicap debut at the same course earlier this month.

11/10
Lightly-raced sort who has left his low-key novice form behind switched to handicaps the last twice, finishing second in back-to-back races over 25f at Huntingdon (latterly in a first-time hood, but headgear discarded here). Solid claims.

9/2
Caused something of a surprise following a wind op when bagging a C&D handicap in April, benefiting from the step up in trip. No impact next 3 starts, but latest sixth of 12 at Wetherby (21.2f, good) was a step back in the right direction and he's a credible candidate.

From a good family and offered something to work on with his debut fourth in a Stratford maiden hurdle in July 2024. Little in the way of positives since, though, and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

No impact between the flags or under Rules to date and he's very difficult to fancy from 3 lb out of the handicap. Has undergone a wind op since latest appearance at the end of March.

Forecasts

Captain Trigger (11/10), East Eagle (9/2), Ruler Legend (5/1), Ghost Pepper (15/2), Apieceovfortune (8/1), Max's Champ (16/1), Zoffalee (20/1), As Good As Can Be (66/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for CAPTAIN TRIGGER to make it third time lucky in handicaps, with a reproduction of either of the 5-y-os efforts at Huntingdon the last twice likely to be enough to see him home in front here. C&D winner East Eagle is taken to follow the selection home, with Ruler Legend best of the rest.
