Form & Verdict
Won over fences here (2m, good; in first-time blinkers - two finished) last June; runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f) in April, but low key at Kelso subsequently; returns to hurdles for the first time since finishing tailed off over C&D last October; others more appealing.

Battled well to pip Well Educated off today's mark here (2m, good) in June and lost out by only a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) two starts ago; didn't run badly when third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month; each-way claims at least.

Four Hexham wins (2m-2m4f) and is rated 15lb lower than when last successful at Kelso (2m, Class 2) in May 2024; returned from a 204-day absence with a decent effort, runner-up to Banderas, over 2m4f here latest; respected, even if some of the others have more potential.

Form & Verdict
Made the breakthrough over hurdles at the seventh attempt, getting the better of the long-odds-on favourite in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm; 6-1) 12 days ago; what that form amounts to is questionable, and this Class 4 contest is much more competitive.

Opened his account at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) last month and bettered that effort when a close third over C&D seven days ago off the same mark; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim is unavailable here, but another effort of that calibre would put him firmly in the mix.

Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride.

J: Harry Reed

T: Tristan Davidson

Useful hurdler in his prime but out of form for a good while now, including on this month's two runs (latest a rare Flat run) for new stable; it's therefore hard to see him adding to the trainer's recent winners; Divilabother looks a much better chance for the yard but Harry Reed (who rides most of their British runners) is on this one.
