Showed some ability amidst greenness when rallying for fifth in 10-runner bumper at Chepstow on debut in January. However, went backwards from that effort when tailed off at Exeter the following month. Off since ahead of going hurdling.

Bred for more stamina than speed and finished mid-field in a pair of bumpers. After 5 months, in need of the experience sent hurdling when well-beaten fourth of 7 in mares novice at this course (2¾m) a month ago. Looks one for further down the line.

Runner-up on first of 2 starts in bumpers and progressed gradually in maiden/novice hurdles, before showing promise after 6 months off when fourth of 9 on handicap debut at Taunton (19f) in April. Shaped as if amiss last time, but could bounce back with yard going well.

Analyst's Verdict

HANDMEDOWNASTAR built on the promise of his hurdling debut at this course when runner-up at Newton Abbot last month, so he could be ready to open his Rules account this time around. Flash Man has also made an encouraging start over hurdles and looks the biggest threat, with Midnight Pass the pick of the remainder.

Betting Forecast : 6/42.5 Handmedownastar, 9/43.25 Flash Man, 7/18 Conkwell Dancer, 11/112 Midnight Pass, 14/115 Western George, 28/129 Thepassingcyclone, 33/134 Grey Gamble, 100/1101 Snowski
