Fair Flat winner who made a successful start in this sphere at Market Rasen last summer and bettered that form when landing 6-runner novice hurdle at Fakenham (2m, good) in October, going with enthusiasm. Goes handicapping now and must be of interest.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR:  110
Useful at best on the Flat, though not straightforward. Much improved from hurdling debut when runner-up in 2m novice at Uttoxeter last summer and shaped better than bare result, on return for new yard, when fifth of 10 in novice at Warwick 40 days ago. Warrants respect on handicap hurdle debut.

Cashed in on a reduced mark over fences at Stratford in March. Below form in both starts since, though, and makes limited appeal back over hurdles here.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR:  109
Consistent in handicap hurdles (won at Sedgefield last autumn) and found improvement sent chasing last month, landing handicaps at Stratford and Plumpton. 5 lb lower, back over the smaller obstacles, and holds obvious claims.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-2| J: Paddy Hanlon(5)| T: J J Hanlon| OR:  106
Didn't really build on Downpatrick hurdles success last summer and arrives on the back of a couple of disappointing runs over the larger obstacles.

Forecasts

Captain Cool (11/10), Squeezebox (7/4), Scottish Anthem (7/1), Pahlavi (12/1), Harel Du Marais (14/1)

Verdict

CAPTAIN COOL has really upped his game over fences of late and is able to race off a lower mark in this sphere. He can take full advantage. Squeezebox looks fairly treated on his handicap hurdle debut and rates the chief threat.
