Verdict

Assuming he copes with a 4-day turnaround, HARD STARE can put his fitness to good use and build on what was a promising chasing debut at Plumpton on Monday. Ted The Thief lacks an outing but is the obvious threat.

3	Point bumper winner and showed more than previously over hurdles sent handicapping when placed twice during the spring.

2	Low-mileage 6-y-o is improving over fences, justifying support in a strongly-run handicap at Taunton in February prior to a runner-up effort from 7 lb higher at Exeter. Off since but demands respect at this level. 2nd Pick 2 Ted The Thief (Ire) Jockey: Harry Kimber Trainer: Robert Walford J: Harry Kimber T: Robert Walford	99	-	-	-	34%

4	Hurdles scorer who struck at the sixth attempt over fences at Exeter (3m) in March. At least respectable efforts the next twice before perhaps finding a busy spell catching up with her at Warwick in May. 3rd Pick 4 Sweet Nightingale Jockey: Tristan Durrell Trainer: Polly Gundry J: Tristan Durrell T: Polly Gundry	97	-	-	-	4%
