Off the mark at third attempt in points and has improved with each start under Rules so far, scoring at Lingfield second time up before showing better form in defeat at Wincanton in December. Jumped well there and is open to further progress now sporting tongue tie.

3/1
Fairly useful bumper winner who looked a good staying prospect when making a successful debut over hurdles in 11-runner maiden at Hexham in November. Hasn't kicked on as expected in 2 starts since, though.

2/1
Useful stayer on Flat at best. Made a winning start over hurdles over 2½m at Hexham in December and produced his best effort over timber when 10½ lengths third of 9 to Dalston Lad in Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago, finishing well. Back down in trip here.

7/1
Has shaped well in a pair of 2½m Hexham maiden hurdles since returning from a long absence, finishing second to Tashkhan latter. Not in same form over C&D last time and improvement is required.

Point winner but has looked in need of the experience on both outings over timber so far.

Won a point after finishing mid-field in an Irish bumper but looked a staying type back under Rules in a maiden hurdle at Perth 9 months ago.

Forecasts

Gatineau Park (13/8), Tashkhan (2/1), Out Of The Woods (3/1), Cushendun (7/1), Malayalam (40/1), Mosstown Mill (125/1), Run Baby Run (400/1)

Verdict

This looks a match between GATINEAU PARK and Tashkhan, with preference for the progressive Bailey & Nicholls representative, the intermediate trip likely to suit him better than his strong-staying rival.
