Got off the mark over fences at Newbury in March 2024 but well below that form in only 2 starts since. Back from 17 months off here.

Well backed following a second breathing operation when all-the-way victor at Southwell in February. Not allowed to dominate when only third of 5 at Wincanton next time, though. Worth another chance.

Has improved for the switch to fences, notching his third win at Leicester in February. Cheekpieces added when posting good efforts to make the frame at Fontwell since. Must enter calculations eased 1 lb.

Most progressive when landing hurdle hat-trick last season. Pulled up both runs over fences this term though, having a breathing operation before Uttoxeter on latter occasion. Cheekpieces added.

Forecasts

Duhallow Tommy (6/4), Mumford's Magic (9/4), Rip Wheeler (5/2), Maclaine (3/1), Hawaii Du Mestivel (9/2)

Verdict

DUHALLOW TOMMY could get his own way in front here so is taken to quickly resume winning ways at the chief expense of in-form Rip Wheeler who bids for a fourth victory of the current campaign.

  1. Duhallow Tommy6/4
  2. Rip Wheeler5/2
