Runner-up twice prior to Wincanton blip but returned to form when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (4/1) 41 days ago with hood reapplied, had every chance 2 out before being hampered close home. Remains of interest.

Course winner who won at Fontwell in first-time visor last March and pulled up in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (4/1 fav) 29 days ago, threatening briefly before fading. Tongue strap back on but remains to be seen if he fares better.

Three-time course winner. Runner-up in his last three handicap hurdles since November return, though without a win for 20 races. Second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (6/1) 19 days ago, doing all he could but collared in the dying strides. Threatening to come good from this sort of mark.

Showed improved form to get off the mark on his second handicap start when successful in handicap hurdle at Lingfield Park (13 ran, 8/1) 21 days ago. Up 8lb and has more to do here.

Bongo Man67
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-9| J: James Bowen| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR:  104
Yet to win and has gone backwards since finishing third behind pair of subsequent winners in a maiden last May, tailed off last of 3 on handicap debut at Wincanton (9/2) 67 days ago despite settling better without a hood. Plenty to prove after a break but does have James Bowen back in the saddle.

Successful on latest hurdle start over C&D in April. Fourth of 6 in 2m Flat handicap at Kempton (11/1) 33 days ago, ran respectably without proving his stamina for the trip. Returns to hurdles where he has twice won at this course but this is a better race.

Our Papa Smurfp14
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR:  97| C
Resumed after a year off with a modest effort at Fontwell before improving when fitted with cheekpieces (retained), won 7-runner handicap hurdle at this course (11/2) 14 days ago, though the run of things was very much in his favour. Up 3lb but stepping up in trip and could have more to offer.

Forecasts

Luwdvig (5/2), Inferno Sacree (4/1), Dirty Den (4/1), Macari (5/1), Our Papa Smurf (6/1), Activist (8/1), Bongo Man (20/1)

Verdict

DIRTY DEN has proved consistent when hooded over hurdles and he can gain a deserved success. Three-time course winner Inferno Sacree has finished runner-up in his last three handicap hurdles and looks threatening from this mark, while Our Papa Smurf is respected stepping up in trip, having won at this course a fortnight ago when fitted with cheekpieces.
