Fairly useful, 3-time winner over hurdles who justified good support sent chasing/after 7 months off when landing 9-runner novices' handicap at Chepstow 4 weeks ago, digging deep to pull clear with runner-up. Jumped soundly then and claims again with prospect of more to come.

Form proved up and down over hurdles/fences last season but firmly back on track with blinkers fitted when readily seeing off 11-rivals in 3m handicap chase at Uttoxeter in May. Possibilities up 7 lb if headgear has desired effect again back from 6 months off.

Didn't really go on over hurdles after notching a Grade 2 novice win in 2023 but solid start over fences since the turn of the year, second of 5 in C&D handicap on final start in February. Not discounted on return.

Yet to get his head in front over fences but produced an effort right up there with his best when third in handicap at Kempton (3m) in February. Efforts mixed at Spring Festivals thereafter and bad mistake did for him on return at Cheltenham (24.5f) 12 days ago. Return to handicaps a plus.

Bumper/hurdles winner who has improved significantly with cheekpieces fitted over fences, landing back-to-back Worcester handicaps (23f) this summer. Jumped none too fluently and below form when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f) 29 days ago. Needs to brush up in that department here.

Forecasts

Collectors Item (7/4), Destroytheevidence (15/8), Hugos New Horse (5/1), Rock My Way (6/1), Bowtogreatness (6/1), Olivers Travels (8/1)

Verdict

DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE was well prepared and justified good support after 8 months off when successful on chase debut at Chepstow 4 weeks ago. Open to improvement in this sphere, he's fancied to make a bold bid to make it 2-2. Collectors Item, who responded very well to blinkers when scoring at Uttoxeter in May, is another to note on return, whilst it will be intriguing to see how Hugos New Horse figures now chasing.
