7/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, improved on recent efforts to win 4-runner juvenile hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, soft, 9/2) 22 days ago. Not taken lightly back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Elusive Tiger (5/2), Reverberation (6/1), Mitigator (6/1), Tranquillity (7/1), Steven Seagull (7/1), Liberated Lad (9/1), Stormingin (12/1), Native Melody (16/1), Charlie's Yard (18/1), Persian Wolf (25/1), Dark Company (28/1), Athena Ballerina (28/1), Well Prepared (33/1), Peruvian Summer (80/1)

Lots of these arrive with something to prove so this looks a good opportunity for Archie Watson's ELUSIVE TIGER to gain his first success having not enjoyed the rub of the green when third at Wolverhampton last time. Liberated Lad is weighted to have a big say if on his A-game while Native Melody is another who can go well if the blinkers have the desired effect once more.
