Verdict

RODNEY was an easy winner on his third start over fences at Leicester last month and can follow up from a 7 lb higher mark. Noahsgreatrainbow still appeals as on a workable mark after his chase debut success and is the biggest threat, further improvement from him hard to rule out, with Ede'iffs Rock completing the shortlist.

3	Won handicap hurdles on first 2 starts for this yard at the beginning of 2025 and struck at the third of time of asking over fences this season when easily accounting for 5 rivals in 2m Leicester handicap 15 days ago. Up in trip but expected to be bang there. 1st Pick 3 Rodney (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Deutsch Trainer: Kerry Lee J: Charlie Deutsch T: Kerry Lee	100	-	-	-	29%

1	Useful bumper performer in 2023/24 but never really fulfilled that promise over hurdles. Right back on track over fences though, making a successful debut in a 7-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, soft). Up 6 lb but there's better still to come. 2nd Pick 1 Noahsgreatrainbow (Ire) Jockey: Paul O'brien Trainer: Harry Derham J: Paul O'brien T: Harry Derham	97	-	-	-	23%

8	Bagged third victory of last season when taking a 5-runner Taunton handicap chase (23f, soft) in February. Well backed returning from 9 months off last time but fell 5 out when still in front. Interesting to see if market support is replicated this time. 3rd Pick 8 Ede'iffs Rock Jockey: Harry Kimber Trainer: Kathy Turner J: Harry Kimber T: Kathy Turner	96	-	-	-	9%
