Handicap | Hurdle | 2m 53y
Latin Verse
Not the easiest race to assess and it could pay to side with Olly Murphy's new recruit LATIN VERSE to capitalise on a handy-looking mark on his return from 11 months off. In-form C&D scorer Nowmelad has no fitness concerns and rates a big danger with Out Of Office another to consider if taking a step forward from his Carlisle reappearance third.

Point/hurdles scorer in 2022 but very lightly raced subsequently. Hooded after 2 years off when a respectable third of 8 in 2m1f Carlisle handicap hurdle in November.

It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2022 and he's been off the track for 6 months since posting a creditable fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f).

Reliable sort who was in the process of running well when falling last in 2m Taunton handicap hurdle in February on his final run for Anthony Charlton. Starts out for leading yard off a lenient mark so very much one to consider despite his absence.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 104ySoft (Good to Soft in places)HurdleF/14Wincanton2m 3f 179yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle11/15Taunton2m 3f 1yGood (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle6/9Huntingdon1m 7f 171yGood to SoftHurdle2/9Cheltenham2m 87yGoodHurdle7/8- 1L'astroboyJ: Gavin SheehanT: Evan Williams6Age 99/19/110/1

Landed Ffos Las bumper/maiden hurdle in 2022 before a fine runner-up in Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown in early 2023. Only twice raced since though and came in a well-held sixth of 8 in 2m Sandown handicap last month. Has it to prove now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle6/8Chepstow2m 3f 100ySoftHurdle2/10Sandown Park1m 7f 216ySoftHurdle2/8Ffos Las1m 7f 182ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/6Ffos Las1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper1/11- 3Col Du Pre'J: Ned FoxT: Venetia Williams414-U7Age 520/120/118/1

A fair winner on the Flat and over hurdles in France in 2024. Seen out just twice for his current yard in 2m handicap hurdles at Newbury and Haydock this winter and well held on each occasion.
