11/1

6/1

Below form fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.2f, good, 14/1) 38 days ago, finding little. Cheekpieces may help him but he's a strong finisher.

Forecasts

Blue Reed (4/1), Give Him A Chance (9/2), Welcome Aboard (5/1), Silent Dawn (6/1), Johanna'sjean (17/2), Sydney Cruiser (17/2), Ballykinlar (10/1), Kinbara Hills (10/1), No Big Deal (10/1), Aboy Joey (10/1), Our Uncle Jack (11/1), Run For Cover (12/1), Simpletwistoffaith (14/1), Tea It Is (14/1), Theanniversary Man (16/1), Loup De Tallane (18/1), Getaway Master (25/1), Cosmo Renfro (28/1), Give Her Hollie (50/1)

GIVE HIM A CHANCE would have displayed much-improved form had he not fallen 2 out at Limerick last time and on that evidence, this mark is within range. He gets the tentative nod, the market support for the J.P McManus-owned pair No Big Deal and Welcome Aboard would look significant.
