Parkinsons Awareness Handicap Hurdle

Three-time hurdle winner was in better company when placing on his first 3 starts in handicaps, and while he found the Imperial Cup at Sandown too competitive last time, he must be of interest dropped into this grade.

Impressive hurdle debut winner ran to a similar level when third in Bangor novice on reappearance but proved a disappointment on handicap debut at Kempton (following 10 weeks off) in early-February.

Landed the middle leg of a hat-trick over C&D last spring and while hit and miss on the Flat of late, this is only her second hurdle start for yard who've enjoyed a fine first season.

Fairly useful bumper/maiden hurdle winner has the demeanour of a 2m chaser but again disappointed (following second breathing operation) over fences at Sedgefield last time. Has the ability but will need to settle better with tongue strap back on for handicap hurdle debut.

Looked a likely improver following an all-the-way success at Taunton in January but jumped poorly in his follow-up bid there last time. He'll need to improve on that front to make a winning handicap debut.

Having been dropped in grade following 3-month break, he ran out an impressive winner of a Kempton handicap last Monday. Quick turnaround unlikely to be an issue (didn't have a hard race) and needs serious consideration off an unchanged mark.
