Winning pointer but yet to fire in this sphere, ninth of 10 in novice at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Could still do better for top yard now going into handicaps though.

200/1, first form over hurdles when fourth of 9 in novice at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago, having run of race. Needs to take a step forward on his handicap bow.

Still a maiden and he was tried in a tongue strap when only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Lots more is required.

Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Can give another good account from a falling mark.

Took a step forward when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) 55 days ago. May do better now going handicapping so he's no forlorn hope.

Fair form over hurdles in France but yet to fire in a trio of handicap hurdle outings upon returning this winter. Cheekpieces go on for the first time now.

Went backwards from his Ffos Las reappearance second when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, soft) 20 days ago, finding nothing. More is needed if he is to get off the mark here.

10/3
A fair Flat winner but seems not so good in this sphere and a below-par sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) 21 days ago. Weighted to go well though if translating his Flat form.

13/2
Modest 1m Flat winner who has made the frame on all his three runs in this sphere, posting a good fourth of 10 in juvenile at Kempton (16f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Could do better still now handicapping so he's a likely player.

Reamins winless and he was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Away For The Night (3/1), Rukaana (10/3), Flagon Dry (13/2), Midnight View (8/1), Cumhacht (8/1), El Gavilan (9/1), This Sway (10/1), Saucats (16/1), Linden Lane (22/1), The Padster (25/1), Delta Blues Belle (28/1)

Verdict

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for FLAGON DRY to build on his good Kempton fourth now stepping into handicaps and add to his previous Flat victory. Midnight View is weighted to go well and next on the list in his bid for a breakthrough success, while handicap newcomer Delta Blues Belle and fair Flat scorer Rukaana could also have a say.
