11/1
Winner of 3 of his 5 starts over hurdles, including the Grade 1 Tolworth. Conversely, just the one win since switched to fences and looked a difficult ride last season. Offered little on return last month and others preferred.

3/1
Took well to fences in 2022/23, winning 2 of his 3 starts. After 21 months off, shaped promisingly when second at Kempton but went backwards at Perth 5 months later. Respectable return at Kempton last month and not taken lightly.

2/1
Ended last season on a low note and disappointed at Fontwell on return when well backed (has good record fresh). However, yard in better form now so worth another chance off a tempting mark.

7/2
Made mistakes when well held on his chasing bow at Exeter a year and failed to build on a very good Wincanton 3m hurdling second subsequently. Bit more like it returned to the larger obstacles at Chepstow on return last month. Tongue strap on 1st time.

7/2
Refitted with a visor when posting a career best to win C&D handicap (20/1) 33 days ago. Up 6 lb but he can go well if the headgear works again.

Forecasts

Bucksy Des Epeires (2/1), Doctor Ken (3/1), Dartmoor Pirate (7/2), No Tackle (7/2), Tahmuras (11/1)

Verdict

BUCKSY DES EPEIRES disappointed having been sent off a warm favourite on his return at Fontwell 8 weeks ago but is worth another chance off a tempting mark with his yard in better form now. Doctor Ken may emerge as the biggest threat if the rain stays away.
