Bangor-On-Dee 14:45 Odds Comparison

Second on sole start in Irish points last spring and duly stepped up on maiden/novice exploits when third of 11 pitched into a handicap a Southwell last time. This stiffer test could help and he's a player off the same mark.

Point winner who found some improvement when opening his hurdles account at the seventh attempt at Ludlow (21f, good to soft) last time. 6 lb rise fair and this stiffer test should be in his favour.

Successful between the flags last February and handicap debut fourth of 15 at Newcastle last time was a step in the right direction. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if able to build on that now upped in trip and equipped with a first-time tongue strap.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and while he hasn't shown that much over hurdles to this point, it would be no surprise to see this 5-y-o take raise his game.

In good hands but improvement was not forthcoming on handicap debut at Doncaster in January.

Placed on each of his three starts in points but yet to trouble the judge under Rules, finishing well held on chase/handicap debut at Ludlow when last seen in December 2024. Now tried in a hood.

Fair winning stayer on the Flat and fairly encouraging start over fences when runner-up at Catterick in January. However, he refused next time and is not particularly appealing now returned to hurdles (0-9 in this sphere).

Point winner but he hasn't pulled up many trees since embarking on a career under Rules.

While a reproduction of something akin to his best form would give him a fighting chance, he has a bit to prove following a heavy defeat when returning from a break at Doncaster last month. Cheekpieces refitted.

Placed on last of 3 starts in points but very little to shout about in a trio of maiden hurdles.
