One-time Cheltenham Festival favourite Blacko could be dangerous if back to best

There's just over £10,000 up for grabs for this handicap. Tanganyika and Word Has It are the favourites, but neither has been successful since spring 2021. Blacko was once a Cheltenham Festival favourite, now he's 18lb lower. He was beaten on his return from a 631-day absence on debut for Evan Williams two weeks ago. He could be dangerous if he gets back to his best.

Allavina is riding hurdles and has had her wind done since she last ran. Zambezi Fix needed the run at Leicester last time and Bernard Llewellyn is hoping he can run well and get some of the nice prize-money. Port Or Starboard has no weight and hopefully can handle the testing ground. Evan Williams is trainer of Blacko. He got loose before a race at Cheltenham last year and he's not been the same horse since.
