Much improved form when winning on handicap debut at Taunton (19f) in March but offered little after 8 months off in 2m2f Fontwell handicap 41 days ago. Much more is required up in trip.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-3| J: Mr Martin McIntyre(3)| T: Nicky Martin| OR:  89| BF
Gambled on in first-time cheekpieces and shaped well given he raced very wide when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f) in March. Off since but yard among the winners so he merits serious consideration with headgear retained.

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in only eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) on his return last month. Cheekpieces go on for his handicap bow with plenty more needed.

Opened his chase account over 3m at Warwick in the spring but hasn't troubled the judge since. Reverts to hurdles with lots to find.

Not the easiest to catch right but he posted a good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (19.8f, good) 28 days ago. Needs to back it up now off a 4 lb higher mark.

Forecasts

Watchoutitscookie (9/4), Dish Of The Day (5/2), Iris Des Issards (10/3), Mr Griffiths (7/1), Moonlight Artist (10/1), Walkinthecotswolds (12/1), Whatmakes Honey B (33/1)

Verdict

Not the easiest race to assess but DISH OF THE DAY rates the pick of the weights and hails from a yard among the winners so is taken to make a successful return. Iris des Issards is feared most on the back of a good Taunton third, with Watchoutitscookie also well in the mix if reproducing the form of his recent Wincanton second.
