Annual Memberships On Sale April 22nd Handicap Hurdle

Fairly useful 2m hurdles/chase winner at his best but pulled up in Grand Annual at Cheltenham 26 days ago, tailing off long way out. More needed back over hurdles.

Useful 2m2f winner over fences but saddle slipped for second time this term when pulled up in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Needs to settle down back over hurdles.

Course winner who had cheekpieces on for 1st time when a good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 23 days ago, sticking to his task. Merits consideration despite taking a 3 lb rise.

€150,000 recruit from the pointing field who has landed the odds in novice hurdles around 2m4f at Exeter and Newton Abbot this winter. Can be expected to improve further and holds solid claims now handicapping.

Resumed winning ways in first-time tongue strap at Cheltenham (21f) in November but below that form at Taunton and Newton Abbot since, finding nothing on latter occasion. Has a bit to prove now.

Consistent sort who scored at Exeter in December. Rare poor run when fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (19.3f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Sort to bounce back with cheekpieces added.

Bagged his first 2 starts over hurdles last term and enhanced his form when second in Grade 2 on reappearance at Chepstow. Below that form when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, soft) 44 days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back here.

Duly landed the odds on his third start in this sphere in 3-runner novice at Lingfield (2m, heavy) last month. Looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut. Big shout.
