10st 2lb

J: William Maggs

T: Andrew Hamilton

Lightly raced 6yo; in this new headgear combination when a late mistake (and some wandering) cost him a 3m chase at Perth and again he showed some quirks when ducking right and unseating at the first fence at Kelso on Sunday; capable of having a say on this return to hurdling but comes with an element of risk.

10st 9lb

J: William Maggs

T: Andrew Hamilton

Lightly raced 6yo who advanced his form on his chasing debut (in a first-time hood) when a short-head second of eight in 3m handicap at Perth 11 days ago, looking probable winner until blundered last; up 6lb but merits serious consideration in retained headgear.

J: William Maggs

T: Andrew Hamilton

Didn't offer much on his first three starts for this trainer, but there has been a slight uptick since wind surgery; third, beaten 22l, over hurdles here (2m, good) latest; hood added for rules chasing debut (0-3 points); task is a tough one from 3lb out of the handicap.

Made his handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month following wind surgery and a break and ran pretty well in fifth of 13, beaten 8l; races off the same mark today and could be an each-way contender.
