5/2
Let down by his jumping when a below-par fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) on his recent return. Scored three times last term however so no surprise to see him bounce back.

Won 2m handicaps at Doncaster and Taunton last winter but below that level more recently, including when in the frame for his new yard at Wetherby and Carlisle this winter. More is required.

Without a win since his British debut but he is knocking on the door again, runner-up in 2m3f Warwick handicap last month. Can make his presence felt once more.

Lightly-raced winner who resumed with a good second at Wincanton in October. On the retreat when unseated rider last in handicap at Doncaster following month but this free-goer is the sort to get back on track.

2/1
C&D winner but he was let down by his jumping when only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft) 20 days ago. Handily weighted if back on his A-game.

18/1
A fairly useful bumper scorer who overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdling debut in 2m4f Aintree maiden in May, 2023. Absent since but appeals as capable of a fair better now going handicapping. Interesting for his in-form yard.

20/1
It's now 18 runs since his last win in 2021 but he posted a very good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) 65 days ago. Needs considering off the same mark.

11/1
Won a pair of handicap hurdles at Musselburgh back in February but struggled on the Flat in the summer and has fared no better back hurdling of late. Others appeal more.

Forecasts

Bertie's Ballet (2/1), Milldam (5/2), Jilaijone (10/3), Bashful (11/1), Rewired (14/1), Admiralty House (16/1), Lune De La Mer (18/1), Coventry (20/1)

Verdict

The unbeaten LUNE DE LA MER rates a likely improver now stepping into handicap company so is taken to make light of a lengthy absence with his yard going well. Jilaijone may have to settle for runner-up spot once more, while Coventry and Bertie's Ballet could also have a say.
