Form & Verdict

Belied 66-1 odds and made quite promising hurdle debut when keeping-on fifth over C&D (soft) in January but was well beaten when upped to 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good to soft) in March and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

Form & Verdict

Returned from break with respectable fourth on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month but that form leaves her with a bit to find here and she needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run 12 days ago.

Displayed promise in two bumpers in the autumn but was remote when fourth here (2m5f, good to soft) on last month's hurdle debut and needs to take a big step forward today.
