J: Ian Power

Returned to form and completed quick hat-trick over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but quickly went off the boil towards end of last season (pulled up on two of last three appearances); competes off his lower chase mark here and might be allowed an uncontested lead but has a poor completion rate over fences; risky.

Form & Verdict
First win for a long time and over fences when it was never in much doubt here a month ago (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces); went up 8lb but Charlotte Jones announced her retirement straight after that race so 10lb claimer Leah Noreci now takes over; weighted to go well again and this longer trip won't trouble him.

Hasn't won for ages but nearly put that right when going down by a neck here on Saturday (2m5f, good); Leah Noreci rode then so he's without the 10lb claim this time; still respected with cheekpieces added.

Placed in a 3m point at Loughanmore for Tom Dreaper last October; badly hampered and unseated rider on stable debut, but left toiling behind Passengerontheship (beaten 78l) over 2m4f here 18 days ago; tough to consider on that evidence.

Course record of 3-8 includes the odd flop, but also two C&D successes, the latest off 1lb lower last August; hasn't offered anything elsewhere since, and much depends on this place inspiring him again.

Maiden under rules (0-10), but she posted a series of consistent efforts over hurdles; tried to make all in an added hood over C&D (chase debut) latest, succumbing to the stronger finish of Passengerontheship; is 5lb better off with 7l too find; the task isn't impossible.
