Decisive winner of this race 12 months ago and while on a much higher mark this time around, he proved himself better than ever when runner-up behind a progressive one on his return at Killarney.

Useful sort enhanced his fine strike rate in some style when making all in first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow last month, and though this is a deeper race, he's still lightly raced for his age.

Very likeable dual-purpose performer who was runner-up in last year's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen and ran up to his best when third in a listed race on his latest start in this sphere. Should be spot on for this following a creditable return on the Flat and looks the one to beat.

Useful Flat performer posted his best effort over hurdles when third in the Morebattle here in late-February, and while the pace-set up is unlikely to be as favourable this time, he has an excellent chance at the weights and arrives on the back of a solid third on the level at Musselburgh.

Analyst's Verdict

A small but quality field, and useful dual-purpose performer KIHAVAH is fancied to come out on top following a very solid 2025 over hurdles. Hopefully there's enough of a gallop on for Wise Eagle, who finished third in a typically competitive Morebattle here in February and may be the one to chase home the selection.

Betting Forecast : 5/23.5 Kihavah, 11/43.75 Wise Eagle, 3/14 Impero, 7/24.5 The Kemble Brewery
