Verdict

KAZAR FOREZ had some fair form to his name in France and returned from a ten-month absence a different model for Micky Hammond when gaining his breakthrough success at Newcastle. He is fancied to make light of a 4 lb rise in this weakly-contested event at the chief expense of Saviour, who wasn't knocked about starting out for this yard here in October and can go forward now. The Coffey Boy appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

2	Fair ex-French hurdler who took a big step forward for his current yard after 10 months off when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) last month. Up 4 lb but he had something left in the tank there and holds leading claims. 1st Pick 2 Kazar Forez (Fr) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Micky Hammond J: Brian Hughes T: Micky Hammond	100	-	-	-	67%

3	A fair maiden on the Flat who proved too headstrong in 4 hurdle starts for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero last season. Given a considerate reappearance for his new yard over C&D in October and can build on it. 2nd Pick 3 Saviour (Ire) Jockey: William Shanahan Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: William Shanahan T: Jennie Candlish	97	-	-	-	7%

5	Hinted at promise in novices and appealed as a likely improver on his handicap debut but he came in just 10th of 19 at Ayr (2m4f, 17/2) 23 days ago. This Irish point winner may still do better though. 3rd Pick 5 The Coffey Boy (Ire) Jockey: Callum Bewley Trainer: Ian Duncan J: Callum Bewley T: Ian Duncan	92	-	-	-	20%
