Form & Verdict
Quite useful on the Flat for the Crisfords over 1m4f on turf and at staying trips on AW; returned from a year off with an encouraging hurdle debut over C&D (good) in June for new yard, settling well and mostly jumping soundly behind two who had won on the Flat in France; looks sure to improve.

Respectable Flat form for the Crisfords and has made a bright start over hurdles, winning as he liked last time at Worcester (good); the second nearly went one better next time; a strong contender even with a penalty.

Useful Flat racer who was placed in Class 3 AW handicap (2m; RPR 89) on latest outing last summer; changed hands for 13,000gns in the autumn; has form on good and soft ground; will be dangerous at this level if he takes adequately to hurdling at the first attempt.

Won a Ludlow bumper; 0-3 over hurdles but ran better with a tongue-tie added when a 15l third at Bangor (2m3f, good); probably needs to step up again and by some way to beat the best of these.

Has modest strike-rate on the Flat and is 0-4 over hurdles; placed off today's mark on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) last month but subsequent run in Worcester maiden was underwhelming; others have more persuasive profiles.

Irish raider who launched hurdling career with two promising runs in cheekpieces last month, latterly when close fourth of ten at Cartmel (2m6f, good); that form already puts him on the premises here, and he can improve if he cuts out the jumping errors.
