Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus.

Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well.

Form & Verdict
0-8 over hurdles but three times runner-up and ran well for fourth on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) before slipping up early at Aintree in April; the cheekpieces worn the last twice are left at home but he's a major player back in a novice.

Point winner who is 0-13 under rules; has some useful hurdles form to his name, with his best effort coming on good ground and over a similar trip to this; on a handy mark for this chase debut if better for a recent hurdles start; check the market for clues.

Now 0-12 under rules and beginning to look exposed; however, he brings the best form to this maiden and was going easily when falling three out at Sedgefield last time (2m1f maiden); unraced beyond 2m5f under rules but this winning pointer should stay.

Form & Verdict
Bought for £50,000 after edging home in a four-runner Irish point and the runner-up has since finished close up in a bumper for the Skeltons; this is no easy starter over hurdles but he has to be respected.

British challenger won a novice at Market Rasen on his second start; third off this mark in both handicaps, over 24.5f at Haydock and 21.5f at Wetherby; needs to find a bit more.

Low-mileage 5yo whose broadly solid record includes point/hurdle wins; placed at Haydock (3m) on handicap debut most recently, while shaping as if this return to shorter will suit; likely to perform well.

3m Irish point winner in April who followed up on stable debut in Market Rasen novice in October before matching that form when second at Ludlow (also about 2m5f, good) the following month; below par on softer ground at Doncaster in December but drying conditions should help and goes up in trip for this handicap debut; unexposed and considered.
