EXC 1.1

Completed a hat-trick in handicap chases over this sort of trip in early 2024. Lightly raced since but looked as good as ever back from 11 months off when second at Sedgefield 2 weeks ago. Player if this doesn't come too soon. NON RUNNER.

Largely struggled for Pauline Robson but was much improved starting out for this yard when an easy winner over C&D on return. Backed that up with a good second of 16 at Uttoxeter and remains of interest.

Ex-Irish who posted his best effort over fences when second here (3m) 12 days ago, responding well to first-time headgear and worn down only by a stronger stayer. Back down in trip now so big shout if in similar form.

Timeform Verdict

HEEZTHEBOY has been much improved since joining this yard and remains one to keep on the right side of. King of Cong responded well to this headgear when second here recently and is an obvious threat with the drop back in trip a plus. Tenbobeachway showed enough on his second start back from an absence to suggest he has a race in him.

Betting Forecast

Largy Train, 11/4 Heeztheboy (Ire), 7/2 King Of Cong (Ire), 11/2 Lewa House, 33/1 Tory Hill (Ire), 12/1 Gibberwell (Ire), 50/1 Red Ned (Ire), 33/1 Stowaway John (Ire), 25/1 Cudgel, 33/1 Knightphase (Ire), 50/1 Paramaribo (Ire)
