In winning form over hurdles before posting a good running-on fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 24 days ago. Has to be taken seriously stepping up in trip.

Forecasts

Gemmari (6/5), An Bradan Feasa (7/4), Red Flyer (7/1), Saratoga Gold (15/2), Queensland Boy (8/1), D Day Arvalenreeva (18/1)

AN BRADAN FEASA scored twice over hurdles in the autumn before recording a very good fourth at Southwell so edges the vote now stepping back up in distance. Gemmari could prove the chief danger if, as expected, building on his recent Kempton fifth after an absence, while Saratoga Gold also needs considering in his bid to end a lengthy losing sequence.
