His form went the wrong way on the Flat but there have been fairly encouraging signs on his first two hurdle starts (2m1f, good to soft/good); holds solid place claims today.

Won a 6f Ascot novice for Hugo Palmer as a juvenile (soft), but went the wrong way afterwards; fair hurdles debut when runner-up at Cartmel last month (2m1f, good to soft; tongue-tie on); should improve.

Looked useful when winning 6f Ascot novice (soft ground) for Hugo Palmer just under a year ago but this year's Flat form has been very disappointing; last of ten in Class 5 handicap when upped to 8.3f for recent stable debut; has a lot to prove on hurdle debut; tongue-tie fitted.

Won 2yo novice at York (6f, good) in October but she hasn't really built on an encouraging seasonal/handicap debut here (7f) in May; raced freely and possibly didn't stay 1m2f last time, however, and this drop back to a mile might help.

6f winner last autumn; has been running respectably in 7f/1m handicaps without looking ahead of her mark; now moves up in distance (sister won up to 1m2f); should be thereabouts.

Twice-raced gelding; seemed to run very well in Newmarket sales race (6f, good to firm; fifth of 20) last time; helps to set the standard on that form and his best sibling is an Ascot specialist.

Sole win was in a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) a year ago, but he's had some close calls this season including over C&D on his penultimate run; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied.

6f AW win for Ralph Beckett last October; struggled in handicaps for this yard, including after a wind op three weeks ago; the addition of cheekpieces, drop to 0-55 company and return to AW (1-1) are the straws to clutch at.

It has been a real struggle since joining this yard; he's now plummeting down the weights but still requires last month's wind operation to have made a substantial difference.
