Smart and likeable veteran who captured this prize back in 2021. Not disgraced on both his runs back from 20 months off when fifth in 2m4f Aintree handicaps in December. Possibilities.
|
Took this 12 months ago and quickly reverts to this sphere after falling heavily 5th on his belated chasing debut at Kempton (18f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Must enter calculations with cheekpieces added.
|
On a losing run but has posted several good efforts, a close sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Sandown (19.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. In the mix once more.
|
Made light of a six-month lay-off when completing a hat-trick in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) in November. Up 5 lb but he can go well again.
|
Resumed winning ways over C&D in December and backed it up with a very good second of 10 over C&D (soft) 9 days ago. This strong traveller may do better still so merits serious consideration nudged up 1 lb.

Forecasts
Celtic Art (15/8), Walk On High (5/2), Brewin'upastorm (7/2), Bourbali (11/2), Aurigny Mill (10/1)
CELTIC ART was edged out only late when a very good runner-up over C&D last time and this strong traveller can get back to winning ways quickly nudged up just 1 lb here. Walk On High rates the obvious danger in his bid to complete a four-timer, ahead of former winners of this prize Aurigny Mill and Brewin'upastorm.
