10/11
Very progressive hurdler who readily completed a 5-timer in 5-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (22f, good) 19 days ago. Much respected once again.

Timeform
Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f) who made a seamless transition to hurdles with a tongue strap retained when landing the odds in 7-runner novice at Ayr (2m) 17 days ago. Should make considerable progress.

6/4
Useful on Flat and shaped well when sixth of 30 in Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh on most recent outing. Fairly useful over hurdles, finding only one too good in a Musselburgh handicap in February and an Ascot maiden (19.2f) in March. Remains with potential.

Forecasts

Skyjack Hijack (10/11), Zanndabad (6/4), Kepler's Law (10/1), Evaluation (11/1), How About No (40/1), Travis Wheatley (66/1)

Verdict

KEPLER'S LAW shaped with a good deal of encouragement when third at Aintree 3 weeks ago and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, he makes a fair amount of appeal, not least with the step up in trip promising to suit. Zanndabad remains with potential as a hurdler, while Skyjack Hijack has been thriving of late and warrants plenty of respect, also.
