Verdict

SLIM MARVEL went down fighting to a reformed character returned to this trip at Ffos Las and a reproduction of that form could well suffice. Escort'kheops has a rather suspect jumping technique but should be competitive back in handicap company all the same, while Coumeenoole needs keeping a close eye on in the betting for all that he's yet to fire in 4 starts for his present yard.

1	Overcame some rather suspect jumping to gain a deserved success in 8-runner maiden hurdle at Plumpton earlier in the month. Likely to be competitive back in handicap company and stepping up in trip. 2nd Pick 1 Escort'kheops (Fr) Jockey: K. Brogan Trainer: Laura Horsfall J: K. Brogan T: Laura Horsfall	98	-	-	-	34%

2	Point winner who showed fair form to place in multiple maiden hurdles between 2½m-3m for Paul Nolan in Ireland. Yet to fire for Dan Skelton but interesting back in handicap company from a reduced mark. Tongue tie back on and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. 3rd Pick 2 Coumeenoole (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	96	-	-	-	39%
