33/1

Shaped well when runner-up at Kempton in April 2023 and confirmed that promise when gaining a fourth success over fences in handicap at Warwick (16.2f) 4 weeks later. Went like the best horse at the weights when second at Newton Abbot 18 months ago and reverts to hurdling. Probably best watched.

7/1

Proved better than ever when recording a third win of last season in 5-runner handicap at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) back in March, closed down close home by rallying runner-up. Was in need of the run first start back last term but further improvement can't be ruled out for an in-form yard.

20/1

Won juvenile hurdle at Nantes (17.4f, soft) decisively on sole start in France 14 months ago. Not seen since but his new yard is in good form, and he is worth monitoring in the market on handicap debut.

8/11

Uttoxeter bumper winner who got off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles at Ludlow last December. Had wind surgery before following up 3 months later back there (tongue tied) and should have more to offer now handicapping on first start for this yard.

Form: 18/U311-

5/1

Point/bumper winner who easily landed the odds on hurdling bow at Worcester last September and built on that when third in Chepstow Grade 2 the following month. Couple of heavy defeats next 2 starts and failed to land the odds over C&D (soft) when last seen 8 months ago. Can get back on track.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 111| D

11/2

Had a second wind op prior to reappearance and stepped up as required on that effort to make it 2-2 at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) last month, first-time cheekpieces perhaps the required boost. Nudged up 3 lb and fancied to remain competitive.

Forecasts

Go To War (8/11), Rock House (5/1), Bluegrass (11/2), Milldam (7/1), Kikijo (20/1), Light N Strike (33/1)

ROCK HOUSE may have disappointed after finishing third in a Chepstow Grade 2 last October, but it looks significant connections are persevering with him so he gets the nod to make a winning return at the expense of Go To War, who won a couple of novice hurdles at Ludlow last season and should have more to offer now handicapping on first start for a new yard.
