Verdict

FOND FAREWELL looked sure to play a hand in the finish when departing late on at Huntingdon earlier this month and can make amends here. Saccary produced an effort much more in keeping with his Flat from last time and is also respected dropping back in trip, with All One Word also making some appeal as one who'll do better in handicaps.

4	Modest handicapper at best on Flat and only a glimmer of promise in a trio of novice/maiden hurdles. Off for 16 months after but was still on the bridle when unseating 2 out on return/handicap debut at Huntingdon earlier this month and he has to be respected from unchanged mark. 1st Pick 4 Fond Farewell (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Maggs Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Charlie Maggs T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	98	-	-	-	20%

6	A fair Flat winner in Germany/France back in 2022/23 and produced easily his best effort over hurdles upped in trip when second of 14 in handicap at Huntingdon (21f) 17 days ago. Leading player if able to build on that back at 2m. 2nd Pick 6 Saccary (Ger) Jockey: Freddie Mitchell Trainer: David Pipe J: Freddie Mitchell T: David Pipe	100	-	-	-	34%

3	Took a long time to make his Rules debut after being placed in an Irish point in 2023 and posted his first effort of note over hurdles when fifth at Ayr (2m) 3 weeks ago, keeping on gradually. Goes handicapping now and may prove most effective over further. 3rd Pick 3 All One Word (Ire) Jockey: William Maggs Trainer: Donald Mccain J: William Maggs T: Donald Mccain	96	-	-	-	19%
