Visit racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle

Capped a good run of form when making all to record a fourth course success (19f) last time. He was helped by the runner-up sacrificing significant ground at the start, though, and all his wins have come over further.

No impact on rare chase outing latest but isn't discounted if back in same form as when fourth in a fairly useful mares hurdle at Listowel last month. First runner for yard at the track.

Low-mileage 5-y-o was probably finding his feet on first start following a fall at Aintree last month and handicapper has given him a chance if back on song.

Has cut little ice in 3 starts this year, latterly on return to hurdles at Southwell.

Runner-up to a next-time-out winner over C&D last month. Form of his subsequent third at Plumpton is working out well, too, and he could make a bold bid to break his maiden.

Unexposed 4-y-o shaped well when runner-up over this trip at Worcester last month. Easy to forgive his effort over a longer trip there just 6 days on, and he may well open his account for yard that continues to fire in the winners.
