Won in a small field at Exeter (2m2f, good to firm) in October but holding his form is becoming troublesome; risky enough.

Form & Verdict
Won twice last season for Anthony Charlton on good to soft and a quicker surface is fine; both runs for this yard were respectable without looking ahead of his mark but a case can be made.

11st 7lb

J: Brendan Powell

T: Joe Tizzard

Has slipped to his last winning mark but he's proving difficult to win with and was well held at Wincanton in April last time; cheekpieces return and, while he copes with most ground, he's likely to be playing for minor honours at best.

Has slipped to a good mark but didn't really find any improvement (based on early-season form) for this new headgear combination when a wilting fourth here last month; needs to find extra.

J: Brendan Powell

Needs to rebound quickly from heavy defeat here (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago but made the frame over C&D (good to soft/soft) on consecutive outings beforehand and has slipped to a good mark; player if back on song in first-time blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French; very opposable on what he's shown in Britain but has changed trainers and undergone wind surgery; all headgear tried previously is absent.

Ran well to finish a clear fourth in a Taunton handicap (2m, good) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up but he's not easy to predict and is still a maiden after 21 starts; cheekpieces added.

Longstanding maiden over hurdles who hasn't done enough to suggest he's about to shed his maiden tag, finishing 17.5l adrift of Little Lady Lucy at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last time; has a bit to find on the revised terms but not ruled out for minor honours.

0-10 and came in a remote fourth of five in 2m2f handicap hurdle at Exeter in October; in winning form in points last month though so she's not totally out of things.

Drying conditions will be in his favour but this 7yo has been struggling for a while now on all sorts of surfaces; potentially on a good mark even from out of the handicap but he's a risky proposition at the minute.
