TIMEFORM VIEW Back on track when second in a Wetherby handicap hurdle on penultimate start. Confirmed that promise with a ready success at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) last week and while he needs to prove that he can also mix it over fences/ this trip, he’s effectively 8lb ‘well-in’ off the same mark.

Inevitably hit hard for that wide-margin victory (raised 11lb), but he doesn’t have many miles on the clock for a horse of his age, so he may well have more to offer TFR###!! BHA93

THE TIMEFORM VIEW WASTHATOK was safely held on his sole previous run over fences back in January 2024 and is unproven over this far, but the 7-y-o is worth chancing on both counts following a clear career-best display over hurdles at Newcastle last week. Indeed, he is well treated off the same mark and is taken to get the better of Emotional Roller, who struck over C&D last winter and made a satisfactory return at Sedgefield recently Dunworley, an emphatic winner on his latest start in March, also has claims TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.WASTHATOK
