Form & Verdict
Shaped encouragingly on his second hurdle start and ran creditably in a deeper maiden when sixth of 13 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January; despite top weight, he's worth a close look on handicap debut now back in trip, with Callum Pritchard's 3lb claim also a plus.

Lightly raced 6yo who ran away with a weak handicap at Hereford 13 days ago (2m, good); pushed up 8lb for that but he was strong in the betting and probably has more to offer.

Produced a career best when winning at Huntingdon two-weeks ago back from a short break; faces a tougher task off 4lb higher, but she's open to further improvement, with conditions ideal.

Acts on good and soft ground; C&D winner who scored at Huntingdon (2m) in March but she's taken backward steps in her two subsequent runs; only 2lb higher than for her last win but she needs to rediscover her spark.

22-1 when she made a winning stable debut in Newton Abbot novice (2m1f) in September and was a respectable fourth of 13 in C&D handicap (also good to soft) in January; doubled her tally when scoring at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month but it was a tired mistake at the last when 15l second a fortnight later; still needs considering.

Some promise on bumper debut; down the field in three novice and maiden hurdles, latterly at Ascot and Cheltenham, but his chance is much more obvious now handicapping off a modest mark over a trip that he's bred to stay.
