T: Harry Derham

Hurdles winner for this yard; resumed Flat career with close third at Thirsk (1m4f) on handicap debut in this sphere last month and justified strong support when narrowly beating Cruden over this trip at Goodwood (also good) a fortnight ago; unexposed and the best is probably yet to come.

4yo who may not be straightforward and was disappointing when odds-on at Kelso (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, before that he was second on his first three hurdle starts (1m7f, good to soft; two here); stayed well on the Flat and not discounted now up in trip on handicap hurdle debut.

Very close fourth of four finishers on debut in bumper here (2m, good) in October and took a step forward at Ayr (2m, soft) recently on third hurdle start, when keeping on into sixth (jockey suspended for ten days for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible placing); the step up in trip could be a positive move and he's not ruled out.
