Patrick's 60th Celebration Handicap Hurdle Race

Pulled up last time out, but Campaign Trail won two starts back, and was third three starts back before that, proof he retains real ability. Fitness following 36 days off is the obvious question after that below-par run.

Lion Of The Desert won last time out, and was runner-up two starts back, with two more wins further back — clearly in good form. He has run over today's distance and going before, though our figures rank him only fourth of five here.

Charging Thunder is yet to win in his last four starts, finishing fourth on three occasions, but our figures still rate him a clear second-best in this field on merit. Stepping up from that level of finish is the obvious question after 22 days off.

Hillview heads our figures by a clear margin despite a winless recent sequence. He has run over today's distance before, and on our book — well clear of this field — he is the one to beat, with sharper form the target now.

Parikarma sits bottom of our figures and was well beaten last time out, hard to fancy on this book. She was runner-up two starts back, and third three starts back, with today's distance and going both previously covered.
