Form & Verdict

Won on soft turf at Chepstow (2m) in spring 2021 and switches back to the Flat after a respectable hurdle run in June but his AW record is not compelling and others appeal more.

Form & Verdict

Back from short break with three below-par turf runs this summer, and can't blame the good to soft ground for 18l defeat at Ffos Las two weeks ago; however, he's now 9lb lower than when scoring over C&D in December.

Form & Verdict

Low-mileage 3yo who has been placed in her first two handicaps, more recently when second at Chelmsford (13.3f) this month; moves up in trip again today and probably still has more to offer; good chance.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't really taken to hurdling since joining Donald McCain last autumn but posted good effort in defeat when returned to the Flat at Catterick (2m, good to firm) in May; the middle of last year's three AW wins for Sir Mark Prescott was gained over this C&D; respected.
