Verdict

KILWAUGHTER looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut on the back of an excellent Taunton second (form been franked) and this useful bumper scorer is fancied to gain a first success over hurdles here. Lucky Bere arrives on the up too and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Analiese, Huffin An A Puffin and Tour Ovalie in this highly competitive event.

6	Useful bumper winner who has really got his act together over hurdles of late, posting an excellent second of 13 in 2m3f Taunton novice last time. That form has been well advertised so he's a major player now going handicapping off a lenient-looking mark. 1st Pick 6 Kilwaughter (Ire) Jockey: Mr Jack Stenhouse Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White J: Mr Jack Stenhouse T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	100	-	-	-	34%

11	Likeable and progressive front-runner who bids for a hat-trick following 2m4f handicap wins at Uttoxeter and Aintree in December.
