Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules who looked set to make a winning chase debut when coming down 4 out here in October. Not in same form starting out for this yard over same C&D next time and back over hurdles now.

Seemed to benefit from the fitting of a first-time visor and the return to front running when finally off the mark in handicap hurdle at Catterick 2 weeks ago. Only 1 lb higher so player with a repeat.

Long-standing maiden on the Flat/hurdles. Respectable second after 3 months off at Wolverhampton last month. First start over hurdles for current yard.

Forecasts

Vampire Slayer (11/8), Linden Lane (4/1), Animato (6/1), Estate Planning (17/2), Prized Jet (17/2), Snapius (10/1), Mexican Stan (12/1), Warrior Lion (16/1)

Verdict

LINDEN LANE looks ready to finally break his duck after catching the eye off his reduced mark at Windsor 5 weeks ago. Vampire Slayer responded well to this headgear when belatedly off the mark at Catterick and rates the main threat ahead of Prized Jet.
