Selected odds by:
Took a while for things to click over hurdles but arrives here searching for the 5-timer having scored unchallenged at Fontwell (19.2f) 17 days ago. However, 13 lb hike in weights makes life tougher.
|
Landed maiden/novice hurdles either side of solid efforts in pair of competitive Cheltenham handicaps in the autumn. Not helped by a blunder 2 out at Ascot latest but return to handicapping a plus.
|
Irish point winner who landed 2 novice hurdles in autumn. Disappointed next 2 starts but looked to be going well when brought down 3 out at Kempton (21f) 7 days ago. Interesting turned out quickly.
|
Fairly useful, dual hurdles winner who completed the hat-trick in a jumpers bumper at Lingfield (2m) in February. Not disgraced in Grade 3 handicap final at Sandown since and mark remains workable.
|
Off the mark on yard debut over hurdles here (2m) in December and matched that form when runner-up to Gowel Road back here last month, clear of the remainder. More to come now handicapping.
|
Ex-French bumper winner who has made a promising start over hurdles, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when landing a juvenile handicap at Sandown 2 weeks ago. That ought not to prove his limit.
|
£90,000 point recruit who got off the mark over hurdles in unlikely fashion, seemingly beaten before rallying to good effect at Southwell recently. Longer trip a plus now handicapping.

Good Ball (2/1), Hudson De Grugy (9/2), One True King (9/2), Hooper (11/2), Sometimes Always (6/1), Mount Windsor (7/1), Minella Tara (11/1), Press Your Luck (14/1)
GOOD BALL and Hudson de Grugy are improving types both in receipt of a handy 4-y-o allowances and rate the pair to focus on. The former is narrowly preferred of the pair, with Press Your Luck and Minella Tara, at the foot of the weights, a couple of others worth considering.
