J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Bumper winner for Don Cantillon; fair third at Hereford (2m maiden; 15-2) in April, but has struggled to replicate that since, beaten 15l (seventh of 11) at Uttoxeter five weeks ago; competes from easing mark in added cheekpieces.

Kept on for third of 13 in Hereford maiden (2m, good) in April but safely held when filling same position in two subsequent handicaps (both 2m, good) and needs improvement here.

J: Theo Gillard

Kept on for third of 13 in Hereford maiden (2m, good) in April but was below that form when well-held third of six over that C&D on last month's handicap debut; needs help from the new tongue-tie here.

Form & Verdict
Well related; it wasn't a strong Listed bumper in which he finished midfield at Cheltenham but that was still an encouraging start; improvement is on the cards.

Bumper winner who landed his second race over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; shapes as though he'll be suited by this step up in distance; respected.

J: Chad Bament

T: Anthony Honeyball

2m maiden hurdle (good) winner here in January; disappointed on heavy ground over C&D after but bounced back when a staying-on third on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, good) last time, suggesting he'd be worth another try at this trip; respected back in a novice with Chad Bament claiming 7lb.

11st 8lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Anthony Honeyball

Bumper winner who was well on top late on to win a Taunton maiden on good ground in January; highly likely that heavy ground didn't float his boat when tailed off back there under a penalty; doesn't look hurled in for this first handicap but he wouldn't be exposed yet.

Form & Verdict
Both runs at Huntingdon; held up in a slowly run race on debut and was never dangerous, while when beaten further back there last month he was partnered by a 10lb claimer; should have a better effort in him.
