Dino Day Charity Umbrellas Handicap Hurdle

Smart on the Flat in his prime and won two novice hurdles last year (2m/2m1f); well beaten when last of four in C&D handicap last month, after a break, and needs first-time tongue-tie to help him rebound quickly.

In good form over fences last summer (course winner) and now reverts to hurdling on a lower mark; can make his presence felt if fully tuned up after 321-day absence; market may guide.

1-5 over hurdles in Ireland for Gordon Elliott in 2023, the win gained in a good-ground maiden over 2m; makes stable debut after 648-day absence; current ability very hard to gauge.

Regressive 6yo who ended last season in poor form over fences and hurdles for Paul Nicholls; it takes a leap of faith to support him on this stable debut; cheekpieces refitted.

Dual course winner (2m2f/2m4f) who posted two good efforts this spring, latterly when second here (2m4f, good) just over three weeks ago; today's drop back in trip is probably not ideal, though.
