It's not a bad little race, and nor is the Ethical Power Handicap Hurdle which follows at the same venue, in which ACT NOW (5/1 bet365) looks worth chancing on her seasonal reappearance.
Her trainer Anthony Honeyball has quite a tidy course record in South West Wales, sending out 12 winners from 65 runners over the last five seasons, and he's had two comeback winners already this week at Fontwell, which bodes well for Act Now.
She likes nothing more than a battle in the mud and produced a career-best effort when winning over the extended three miles, one furlong at Hereford when last seen in March.
A 7lb rise obviously demands a bit more here but she's basically unexposed in handicap hurdles, despite her age, and could be very hard to catch out in front under a feather weight if ready to rock on her return, as the stable form indicates she might.
