Form & Verdict
Good-ground 2m maiden hurdle winner a year ago and he's looked a work in progress since switching to fences last season; latest 5l fourth at Ascot (2m1f, good) returned to better ground was encouraging though and he's come a long way down the weights; needs to build on that and not of of this if doing so.

By no means an instant success over fences but came good in a small field here last week (good); returns to hurdles off the very same mark and he did win a maiden in this discipline.

Cobblers Boy

10st 13lb

J: Tristan Durrell

It's been a ropey start over fences (last four races) but he could be happy to get away from soft ground, having won his maiden hurdle on good; better can be expected but he's risky.

Form & Verdict
Back to near best on first start for this stable when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) with the hood back on; remains well treated on past form after 3lb rise and holds strong claims if able to repeat the effort.

Absent since pulled up over hurdles for Matt Sheppard last summer (wore cheekpieces) but was unlucky not to win a chase for him at Chepstow (2m, good) just under a year ago, and he's now 5lb below that mark; will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting before this stable debut; usual hood refitted.

In front when falling at the last over fences at Chepstow (2m, good) in April, but was pulled up in his next two starts and well beaten back over hurdles at Bangor (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; cheekpieces given a go but has plenty to prove.
