Form & Verdict
0-15 over hurdles but posted some good efforts for the Joel Parkinson-Sue Smith stable last term and ran a big race when fifth on recent seasonal/stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft); will be suited by this move back up in trip; one to consider.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

2-3 for this yard after 2m7f/2m4f good-ground wins around Fakenham; dictated modest fractions the last time and this will be tougher off 4lb higher, but she doesn't have to lead and has to be respected.

Came good for Lucy Wadham at second attempt, winning readily here (2m7f, good) three weeks ago; should be okay back at 2m4f and recent 5lb rise does not look excessive; could have more to offer for new stable.

Form & Verdict
Won small-field course maiden (2m4f, good) on stable debut in October and was creditable second on handicap debut at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; big player if judged on those exploits but struggled on last two outings, and much depends on the success of last month's wind op.

10yo who has finished merely seventh on his last three starts, the latest in January; however, a break may have helped and he was returning from some time off when winning under Jamie Gambin over C&D (good) last September; now 3lb lower than for that win and not discounted.
