Verdict

TREAD CAREFULLY is well worth another chance to confirm his strong Sandown form having pulled hard on heavy ground at Leicester subsequently. Wilstar left his hurdles debut well behind when second at Ayr and is the obvious threat.

9	Runner-up in a Uttoxeter bumper in March and duly built on reappearance/hurdles debut promise when splitting pair of subsequent winners in 2m Sandown maiden. Pulled too hard on heavy ground at Leicester since and well worth another chance. 1st Pick 9 Tread Carefully (Ire) Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	97	-	-	-	40%

10	Successful at Perth on second start in bumpers during the spring and clearly wasn't right on hurdles debut at Newbury in November. Duly left that behind in a tongue strap when second at Ayr and good chance of going one better. 2nd Pick 10 Wilstar (Ire) Jockey: K. Brogan Trainer: Olly Murphy J: K.

7	£35,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Westerner Lady. Won only outing in Irish points but shaped like a long-term prospect on hurdles debut at Wetherby (16f, soft) 79 days ago. Subsequently had breathing operation. 3rd Pick 7 Myrighthandman (Ire) Jockey: Stan Sheppard Trainer: Tom Lacey J: Stan Sheppard T: Tom Lacey	85	-	-	-	20%
