J: James Bowen

T: Warren Greatrex

The winner of two points; 15 defeats under rules split evenly between bumpers, hurdles and chases; has threatened in all those disciplines and should nick a race sooner or later, for all that he's twice been below par since a good run over fences here in January.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Displayed minor promise in both bumpers last season and also when fifth of nine on recent hurdling debut at Chepstow (2m, good); has quite a bit to find on the figures with a couple of these but her pedigree strongly suggests the step up in trip will suit; not ruled out.

Glimmer of ability in bumpers but she was well held on her hurdle debut and there was nothing new from her at Hereford recently; an unlikely novice winner.

Beaten about 22l when sixth of nine in run-of-the-mill Chepstow maiden (2m, good) on last month's belated debut; entitled to have learnt from that outing but needs significant improvement here.

Form & Verdict
Placed on four of his six hurdling starts; found one just too strong when odds-on for good-ground C&D maiden four weeks ago and does not appear to be making any progress but has a big role to play nevertheless.
