Fair winning hurdler and produced his best effort over fences when picked off only late on in a 5-unner C&D handicap last month. Still probably shaped best there despite not going with much fluency, so cheekpieces now replaced by blinkers.

In fine form towards the end of summer and carried that on into the autumn, proving better than ever when notching a gutsy third win of the season in a 4-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, good) in November. Absent since but has to be respected.

Landed a weak maiden event on his hurdles debut on this card last year. All 3 starts over timber this season have indicated that he should be at his best when chasing over longer trips and he's of serious interest now faced with such a task.

Winner of a handicap hurdle at Newbury around this time last year and has made a better fist of things having a second try at chasing this season, placed all 3 starts over fences at Hereford prior to Christmas. Well beaten in a deeper race at Newbury in January, though.

Analyst's Verdict

A competitive small-field event, with the vote going to chase newcomer DATSALRIGHTCHARLIE, who has been crying out for the step up to a staying trip over hurdles this season and has the physique of one who'll prove better suited by fences. Dangerous Touch shaped best when collared only late over C&D last month and appeals as one who'll benefit from first-time blinkers, whilst Ballynaheer was in fine form when last seen before Christmas and has to be respected after a break.

Betting Forecast : 15/82.87 Dangerous Touch, 2/13 Ballynaheer, 3/14 Datsalrightcharlie, 15/28.5 Mahler Moon
