5/2
Promise when in the frame in a Worcester bumper and encouragement when mid-field both hurdles starts at up to 19f. Drop back in trip isn't an obvious move for this final qualifying run.

A fair maiden on the Flat (fifth on the back of a breathing operation last month) but just modest form in a trio of hurdles starts so far.

Runner-up in a Uttoxeter bumper in March and duly built on reappearance/hurdles debut promise when splitting pair of subsequent winners in 2m Sandown maiden. Back on track after heavy defeat at Leicester when again finding only one too good over C&D a month ago and this is a great opening.

Snow Sky mare. Dam (h118), 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to fair hurdler (stayed 25f) What About Time. Off the mark at the second attempt in Irish points in November and this isn't a strong race.

Forecasts

Tread Carefully (4/9), Nice One Eric (5/2), Collanisi (13/2), Snow Is In The Sky (22/1), Roland Garros (25/1), Georgey (28/1), Jessie's Giant (80/1), Lancier Des Obeaux (150/1), Kampari (200/1)

Verdict

TREAD CAREFULLY has finished runner-up on 3 of his 5 starts so far and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account. With Nice One Eric looking in need of a stiffer test of stamina, point recruit Snow Is In The Sky could be the main threat.
