9/2

Successful on 3 of his 4 starts in Irish points so no surprise he left hurdles form behind when making a winning chase debut at Kelso on return. Followed that with a good second to a progressive type over the same C&D but disappointed at Ayr next time. Given a break since and can bounce back.

Form: 125-124

1/1

Winning hurdler who added a second chase victory to his tally at Carlisle (20f) last month, able to dictate but getting the job done in determined fashion. Went down fighting to a fellow last-time-out winner there next time and should go well again.

The Paddy Pie⁸⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 97| CD

5/1

Has hinted at a revival on a couple of occasions this season, including when fourth of 12 in a Doncaster handicap on penultimate start. Best to overlook subsequent effort (went off too hard upped to 25.2f on deep ground) and he's lurking on a dangerous mark.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 95| C

3/1

Fair hurdler who opened account in this sphere when running out a decisive winner here (16.3f) 15 months ago. Soundly beaten next 4 starts but stopped the slide to some extent when third of 7 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, soft) 16 days ago, going in snatches.

Forecasts

Hello Judge (1/1), Ritson (3/1), Busty Boy (9/2), The Paddy Pie (5/1), Fete Champetre (5/1), Backbyjet (8/1)

HELLO JUDGE arrives at the top of his game and is preferred to Busty Boy and Fete Champetre, who both need to shrug off disappointing efforts.
