BATTLE OF OMDURMAN was a fair juvenile last season and makes most appeal in receipt of a useful 4-y-o weight allowance on handicap debut. Last time out winner Record Art arrives on the back of a career best effort and gets to race in a similar grade here, while Scintillante has twice been placed at this course and should be in the mix again.

    Verdict
    Made all to win over this course last July. Proved better than ever on first start for 9 months after rejoining Fergal O'Brien, landing an 8-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f), benefitting from a more patient ride in a well-run handicap. Up 7 lb but still one to consider in this grade.

    Verdict
    Most encouraging run since joining Neil Mulholland when fifth of 13 at Stratford in March, would have finished closer but for meeting a bit of trouble. That proved a brief revival, finishing well held in first time cheekpieces (retained) at Plumpton the following month. Something to prove now.

    Verdict
    Fair winner on the Flat and opened hurdles account when making all at Taunton (16.5f) in April. Shaped as though still in form when third behind Record Art over the same C&D, when arguably ridden a shade too aggressively. Should remain competitive in this grade.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced sort failed to get home back over a longer trip on final run for David Dennis, finishing fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) in December. Drops back to 2m for stable debut and is one to keep an eye on in the market.

    Verdict
    Runner-up twice in maiden hurdles last summer, including when just touched off over this C&D in September. Returned to form back in a C&D handicap earlier this month and he should give another good account here.

    Verdict
    Made winning hurdles debut at Stratford (2m) in July and matched that when chasing home a fairly useful sort at Uttoxeter next time. Not in the same form since but latest run a step in the right direction. Interesting with cheekpieces refitted for handicap debut.

    From the family of Protektorat but little impact in 3 Point bumpers and similar story under Rules, well beaten on final qualifying run at Exeter in November. Tongue tie on for handicap debut but others preferred.

    Verdict
    Opened hurdles account in a 10-runner novice handicap at Kempton (2m, good) in April but ran a shocker 22 days later when pulled up at Taunton (16.5f). Remains to be seen whether he can bounce back.

    Out of sorts this winter, never looking like capitalising on his falling handicap mark. Leap of faith required following 3 months off.
