Made a successful handicap debut fitted with first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen in December. Progressed further when beaten only by a similarly unexposed sort at Wetherby since and should make another bold bid.

Made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts in 4-runner handicap hurdle (15/8) over C&D (soft) 26 days ago, knuckling down well after briefly looking in trouble once the pace lifted. She's got plenty of stamina and should remain competitive following a token rise in the weights.

Left previous hurdling efforts behind under a change of tactics when second of 9 in handicap at Market Rasen (25/1) 12 days ago, edged out in the final 50 yards having made most. Every chance he can go one better from the same mark.

Poor maiden who looked unsuited by the drop in trip when third of 5 in handicap hurdle at this course (16f, soft) on most recent outing. Worth a try at this longer trip.

Little form for David Brace and never looked like justifying support on first outing for current yard at Ffos Las a fortnight ago.

Forecasts

Castanea Breeze (11/8), De Deli Counter (11/4), Apieceovfortune (10/3), Junior Des Mottes (13/2), Path Of Stars (12/1)

Verdict

DE DELI COUNTER improved for a switch to front running when runner-up at Market Rasen earlier in the month and is taken to make the most of his opportunity from the same mark (due to go up 6 lb in near future). Castanea Breeze and Apieceovfortune are a pair of solid rivals, though.
