Verdict

REALLYNTRUTHFULLY was largely progressive over hurdles and got back on the up when making a winning return/chase debut at Fontwell last month. He can defy a 7 lb rise at the main expense of That's Nice, who looked a good prospect when winning 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles. Rivers Corner took well to chasing towards the end of last season and is another to consider.

Didn't manage to build as expected on his hurdle debut win here last autumn but made a positive start over fences when third of 5 at Worcester on return (winner has franked the form). Entitled to come on for that.

Useful bumper performer who won a pair of 19f handicap hurdles at Taunton last winter. Shaped better than bare result at Aintree on chase bow/return and better expected now.

Verdict
Bumper winner who made no mistake on his first outing over hurdles when landing a 14-runner novice at Carlisle on return last season. Faced a stiff task attempting to concede 7-lb to a promising type at Warwick (21f) but disappointed at Leicester when last seen in January. Makes chase debut.

Responded well to headgear when off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Newbury in March. Good second there later that month and one to consider returning for an in-form yard.

Verdict
Rangy gelding who left hurdling debut form well behind to open account in novice at Taunton (19f) in December, quickening clear having jumped/travelled well. Found it tougher, next 2 starts, however, including on handicap bow at Newbury. However, very much the type to make a much better chaser.
