11st 12lb

J: Ryan Mania

T: Adam Nicol

All four wins have been at Hexham and it was never in much doubt there three weeks ago (1m7f, good); hard to grumble with the 8lb rise but now has to continue his good work on a very different track, and he was a lot lower in the weights when second to Garde Des Champs in this 12 months ago.

J: Ryan Mania

T: Adam Nicol

Started off for Adam Nicol with two comfortable C&D wins last month (good to soft/good) and travelled strongly for a long way before failing to see out 2m4f here a fortnight ago; upped significantly in grade today but this drop back in trip is the obvious move, and he might still have more to offer for his new stable.

J: Ryan Mania

T: Paul Robson

Winning seasonal reappearance at Hexham (2m, good to soft; from 9lb lower) in November, and has presumably been kept away from the worst of the winter conditions since; that wasn't a particularly strong Class 4 contest but this isn't either, and the chances are he has more to offer; key player.

Form & Verdict
Has a decent record here (231413) but usually needs a run under his belt to hit form after a break; this will be his first run of the year but his course record means he cannot be ignored.

Triple chase winner including over C&D but he's been beaten 35l in both runs since returning from an absence in May; has something to prove and he needs a major revival.

Dual course winner (2m), who sits 5lb below his last winning mark; finished a remote third to Conquer The Breeze here latest, so it's difficult to work out how he goes about making up such a deficit, even acknowledging more favourable terms.

Form & Verdict
11yo who is lightly raced for his age; never threatened on his completed starts over fences last season (fell early latest); is a dual hurdle winner but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to some of the much younger legs in this line-up.

Won over C&D (soft) last January and followed up at Carlisle (2m, good) in March; very much of interest on that form but he's struggled on both outings this season and needs to turn things around.
