7/2

Established himself as a useful hurdler when landing 17-runner Kempton handicap in March and made a winning return sent chasing in 3-runner novice at Chepstow (23.6f). Whipped round at the start and unseated his rider at Wetherby last week. Remains open to improvement.

5/1

Has yet to match his useful hurdles form in this sphere, producing a laboured effort on the back of another breathing operation when 5½ lengths second of 3 to Press Your Luck at Chepstow. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

1/2

Very smart hurdler who found only one too good in Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot and Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham last season. Rare lacklustre effort at Aintree on final outing but is very much the one to beat on chasing debut.

Forecasts

Thyme Hill (1/2), Press Your Luck (7/2), Flash Collonges (5/1)

THYME HILL is clear pick on hurdles form and is highly likely to make a chaser, so is going to be hard to beat, especially with Press Your Luck having a penalty to carry for last month's Chepstow success.
