Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for CAPTAIN TRIGGER to make it third time lucky in handicaps, with a reproduction of either of the 5-y-os efforts at Huntingdon the last twice likely to be enough to see him home in front here. C&D winner East Eagle is taken to follow the selection home, with Ruler Legend best of the rest.

5	Lightly-raced sort who has left his low-key novice form behind switched to handicaps the last twice, finishing second in back-to-back races over 25f at Huntingdon (latterly in a first-time hood, but headgear discarded here). Solid claims. 1st Pick 5 Captain Trigger Jockey: Charlie Price Trainer: Robbie Llewellyn J: Charlie Price T: Robbie Llewellyn	100	-	-	-	56%

6	Caused something of a surprise following a wind op when bagging a C&D handicap in April, benefiting from the step up in trip. No impact next 3 starts, but latest sixth of 12 at Wetherby (21.2f, good) was a step back in the right direction and he's a credible candidate. 2nd Pick 6 East Eagle (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Maggs Trainer: Mike Sowersby J: Charlie Maggs T: Mike Sowersby	99	-	-	-	20%

2	Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland and opened hurdles account on handicap debut in this sphere at Huntingdon in March 2024. Rather hit-and-miss since, but he will be a live each-way contender if on a going day. 3rd Pick 2 Ruler Legend (Ire) Jockey: Peter Kavanagh Trainer: Declan Carroll J: Peter Kavanagh T: Declan Carroll	96	-	-	-	20%
