Bet Boost At bet365 Handicap Hurdle

Generally progressive and capable of winning by wide margins at his best, Morning Mayhem was not seen to best advantage when stepped up in trip last time; back at 2m on good ground is more suitable, though he carries 1lb more than when fourth last time and ranks lowest on our figures here.

Beaten just a length at Stratford last time after being detached behind an early front-runner, Hope Rising is consistent and well suited by 2m on fast ground; she rates a strong danger here and the manner of that effort suggests her ability is not fully exposed at this level.

Back-to-back wins, the latest an emphatic 28-length success at Stratford on his handicap debut, mark Edelak out as progressive with more to offer; the trainer is operating at 52%, first-time cheekpieces add an intriguing element and today's conditions look ideal — comfortably the one to beat in this small field.

Consistent performer who handles 2m on good to soft ground, Caelan was beaten 11 lengths at Aintree last time on a demanding track; a first-time tongue-tie may help sharpen him, though he is yet to win in his last five starts and the trainer is below peak at 29% lately.
