Age: 10|  Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy| OR:  118| D
A fairly useful winning hurdler who has performed with plenty of credit back in this sphere, soon behind when a staying-on third of 10 in handicap at Haydock (25.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Expected to be bang there with cheekpieces back on.

Bagged a third win this season at Sedgefield in October and not disgraced when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Fontwell (27.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago. In the mix once more, especially if fencing better.

Refitted with a visor when posting a career best to land 10-runner handicap chase at Lingfield (22f, good) 24 days ago. Up 6 lb but he can go well again with headgear again sported.

Forecasts

No Tackle (13/8), Wa Wa (3/1), Rosscahill (4/1), Ivane (11/2), Lady Balko (10/1), Chambard (16/1)

Verdict

A tricky handicap to solve but WA WA was doing his best work at the finish when third at Haydock last time and could prove the answer off a 2 lb lower mark here now the cheekpieces go back on. Recent Lingfield scorer No Tackle rates a big threat though, while Ivane also enters calculations in his bid for a fourth victory of the term.
