Form & Verdict
Pulled up and unseated (ahead at the time but some way out) in his two chasing attempts last season; did finish his campaign on a high with back-to-back wins in handicap hurdles, taking his form to a new level at Ayr the final time (2m5f, good to soft; won on good); that performance elevated him into the same league as Sixmilebridge.

But disappointing in four runs over hurdles since a spell chasing; has dropped to a good mark as a result and better run last time; down in grade; could go well.

Easily made all in this last year when 5lb higher and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's struggled for form over fences/hurdles since winning a novice chase at Kelso in December.

11st 11lb

J: Kevin Brogan

T: Olly Murphy

Won this last year before following up at Ayr and is well handicapped on all that; however, this season's wins have been over fences and it's been a struggle back hurdling the last twice.

OR: 123

Form & Verdict
Inferior hurdler than her two rivals but has thrived this year in winning four of her last six handicaps, albeit at trips beyond 3m; this looks a big ask on chase debut over a distance well shy of what she wants.

Second here on Saturday and third on Monday in first-time blinkers, though she was some 22l off the winner; opposable should she run yet again.

Started off for this stable with two laboured efforts but runner-up twice this month, more recently in C&D mares' race (good; in cheekpieces) on Saturday; will warrant consideration if she makes a quick reappearance in first-time blinkers.

2l third in this race (good) last year for Georgina Nicholls when undone by two late mistakes, only to land a C&D Class 2 two days later (good to soft) off the same mark as today's; easily her best effort for new connections at Hereford latest (3m2f, good), and her turn is possibly nearing.
