Verdict

THORGATH has proved a different proposition sent handicapping on his last 2 starts and he could be ready to get off the mark with his yard amongst the winners. Inion Tiogair has won over C&D on 2 of her last 3 outings and is respected, while Hillwalk remains capable of better on his handicap debut.

1	Upped to 2½m, showed much improved form when finding only a fellow handicap debutant too strong at Uttoxeter in January. Agan shaped encouragingly when fourth of 12 over this C&D next time and he's a major player with tongue strap added. 1st Pick 1 Thorgath (Fr) Jockey: Cameron Iles Trainer: Tom Lacey J: Cameron Iles T: Tom Lacey	100	-	-	-	34%

5	Gained her breakthrough hurdling success over C&D in February. Not disgraced at Ffos Las next outing, before resuming winning ways returned to this grade here 16 days ago. Suited by the emphasis on speed last time and could get a similar set-up again. 2nd Pick 5 Inion Tiogair (Ire) Jockey: Joe Anderson Trainer: Grace Harris J: Joe Anderson T: Grace Harris	95	-	-	-	17%

3	Promise in bumpers and offered something to work on when third of 6 in a Plumpton maiden on hurdling debut in December. Hasn't matched that form in 2 novices since, but he's one to note as he goes handicapping, especially if the market vibes are strong. 3rd Pick 3 Hillwalk (Ire) Jockey: Conor O'farrell Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Conor O'farrell T: Neil Mulholland	99	-	-	-	50%
