| Notched third win of the season in a handicap chase here last month, and while not at his best in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) when distant second of 4 at Plumpton on latest start, he's fancied to go well off his appreciably lower hurdles mark. | ||||||||

| Fair Flat maiden (stays 1½m) hasn't kicked on since finishing runner-up here on hurdling bow (well held at Sandown in January), though he receives a handy 4-y-o allowance on handicap debut and could improve for the longer trip/refitting of headgear. | ||||||||

| Hasn't stood much racing for his age but ran creditably on return from a further 3 months off when third of 7 in a first-time tongue strap at Huntingdon. Worth noting in the betting (well backed for sole previous success). | ||||||||

In receipt of a handy weight-for-age allowance on handicap bow, NELSON GATE is narrowly preferred to Superstylin, who may make a bold bid from his lower hurdles mark. Lightly-raced 7-y-o Spanish Dancer is another to note in an open-looking race. |
