11/2
Has thrived since a tongue strap was combined with cheekpieces, landing a quickfire hat-trick over hurdles with an easy success at Lingfield (19.6f, good) last month. Had run ended at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 3 weeks ago but shaped as if still in top form and expected to go well again.

Fair form over hurdles in France and whilst he's yet to scale same heights on these shores, he did at least stop the slide with cheekpieces added when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Windsor (2m) 7 days ago. Definite claims if headgear has desired effect once more.

Still a maiden and he didn't fire in a trio of Worcester handicap hurdles for present yard during the autumn. Subsequent 78-day absence needs to have had positive effect ahead of this.

Three-time winner over hurdles in 2024 but failed to threaten in trio of Flat starts during second half of last year and he was below form when pulled up back over hurdles at Hereford (16.2f) 3 weeks ago. This promises to reveal more.

Justified support with a typically enthusiastic from the front when gaining a third C&D victory in May. Runner-up 4 times thereafter but not firing on all cylinders in recent months, fading from 3f out when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16.1f) 12 days ago. Return to this venue can help

4/1
Bumper winner back in February 2023 and, though yet to add to that following 12 attempts over jumps, it was encouraging he could build on his belated reappearance run when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Feasible to think he can step forward again.

Boasts just the one win from 22 starts over hurdles and he's hardly shaped like a winner upon returning to action in recent months, soon beaten when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 29 days ago. Blinkers go on now in place of usual cheekpieces.

Winless but shaped reasonably well when third of 13 in handicap hurdle over 19f at Taunton (17/2) 6 weeks ago, catching the eye with move into contention but unable to sustain it. Nudged up 1 lb but not ruled out back at the minimum trip.

Forecasts

Copper Cove (5/2), Out Of Focus (4/1), El Gavilan (5/1), Getaway With You (11/2), Man Oh Man (11/2), Gavin (13/2), Port Or Starboard (28/1), Daany (40/1)

Verdict

It was encouraging to see OUT OF FOCUS build on his belated reappearance display when runner-up at Leicester 5 weeks ago and, feasible to think he can step forward again, Evan Williams' 8-y-o could well be the answer operating from a career-low mark. El Gavilan, in-form Getaway With You and bottom weight Man Oh Man are others to note.
