Bit of promise when fourth of 8 in a Worcester bumper in September 2024 and while he has cut little ice in 3 runs over hurdles, it would be no surprise to see improvement upped in trip on handicap debut. One to note in the betting with Sam Twiston-Davies booked.

Lightly raced 8-y-o improved again to make it 2-2 under Sean Bowen when facile winner at Hereford (25.5f) 7 days ago. Drops back in trip under 7 lb penalty but very likely still ahead of the handicapper. Strong claims to land the hat-trick.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Well beaten in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months but yard do well with this type and he should do better now tackling handicaps over a longer trip.

12/1
Fair bumper winner who has hit the frame on three of her 4 starts this season, though not for the first time promised more than she delivered when fourth at Hereford (16.2f, soft) 30 days ago (carried head awkwardly). Place claims but remains with stamina to prove over this longer trip.

25/1
Modest 1m Flat winner (stays 11.5f) who has made the frame on three runs in juvenile hurdles but was easy to back when again failing to see out his race on handicap debut at Windsor (2m) on New Year's Day. James Bowen back aboard but step up in distance will need to bring about improvement.

Long-standing maiden arrives out of sorts. Easy to look elsewhere.

9/2
Modest maiden hurdler who showed a bit more when second in a pair of novice handicaps over C&D in recent months, no match for thriving winner on either occasion. Low-mileage but will need to improve to make an impact from 7 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Bollin Thou (1/3), Court One (9/2), Inion Tiogair (12/1), Mild Magic (22/1), Directly (22/1), Flagon Dry (25/1), Mac's Xpress (100/1)

Verdict

BOLLIN THOU is thriving and can defy a 7 lb penalty to land a hat-trick under Sean Bowen. Inion Tiogair isn't one for maximum faith but has hit the frame on three of her 4 starts this season, while Mild Magic and Directly can both do better now handicapping and should be noted for support.
