Runner-up in an Irish point and quick to show fairly useful form over hurdles, landing 10-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) in January and finishing runner-up in all 3 outings thereafter. Must be of interest on handicap/chase debut, particularly if market speaks in his favour.

Ran poorly when last seen at Perth in April but won a couple of handicaps (at up to 20.4f) in the mud last term and could be dangerous if tuned up on his return here.

Showed much improved form to get off the mark in handicap chase (16f) at Lingfield in February and backed that up when scoring (off 10 lb higher) at Stratford (17f) the following month. Likely contender.

Hurdles winner for Anthony Charlton at Newbury (20.5f) in March and ran to similar level. on debut for this yard, when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wetherby (21.2f, heavy, 5/1) 26 days later. Attention is switched to chasing first time up and warrants respect.

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase (7/2) at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy) in February. Drop back in trip may not be ideal on return but can't be discounted, particularly with yard going through a good spell.

Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark under Rules when easily landing Chepstow maiden hurdle (19.5f) in December. Well held over a shorter trip on chase debut at Ffos Las recently, however, and others make more appeal.

Won twice over hurdles and confirmed the promise of previous starts in this sphere when striking at Wincanton on heavy ground in December. Arrives on back of good second in Exeter handicap chase (19.2f) 20 days ago and holds strong claims.

Forecasts

Doyouknowwhatimean (5/2), Pachacuti (4/1), Livin On Luco (9/2), Knowwhentoholdem (5/1), Sherborne (6/1), Clonakilty (10/1), Minella Blueway (12/1)

Verdict

SHERBORNE is proven in testing conditions and has fitness on his side after a fine return at Exeter earlier this month. He makes plenty of appeal. Doyouknowwhatimean and Clonakilty are feared most.
