Stratford (2m, good) winner in October off 4lb lower and possibly bettered that when a close third at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month, before appearing to find the drop back to 2m a little sharp at Taunton last time; more likely needed again.

Has been in good form since returning from a break, finishing second at Hereford in May before winning over C&D in June and running another solid race when a 5.5l second at Stratford off this mark last time, all under Isabelle Ryder; looks set for another bold showing.

Ludlow maiden winner in November; mark remains the same after respectable efforts in his first two handicaps (2m4f/2m6f); should have some say but perhaps vulnerable once more.

Yet to add to his 2m Ludlow maiden hurdle win but has run with credit since, most recently on handicap debut at Market Rasen when staying on over 2m4f after racing wide; likely to be involved off an unchanged mark if stamina holds up over this longer trip.

Just did enough to win 2m Ludlow maiden in the autumn and was a very respectable third of six in novice event over that C&D (again on good) last month; moves up in trip for handicap debut; should have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
Fourth in a claiming hurdle before having a complete off-day over fences five weeks ago, when he lost lengths at the start and jumped poorly before ultimately unseating; hard to win with at the best of times and now makes debut for a new Irish yard.

Ran well when third of six at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on latest visit to Britain in July but was well beaten when falling in a Downpatrick chase last week and is too inconsistent to rely upon.

4 yo Colt

OR: 118

Form & Verdict
Flat winner in Ireland; now 3-5 over hurdles, though it's questionable what he's achieved in the wins as the maiden came at odds of 2-9 and the handicaps were desperately uncompetitive, the latest a gift after market rival had relinquished lengths at the start; competes here off an untouched mark; this should reveal plenty more about him.

Continued progress, winning for the fifth time since May, when making all at Newton Abbot (2m1f, Class 3; from 8lb lower) three weeks ago; this represents his toughest test yet - up 21lb since sent handicapping - but you couldn't be confident where the ceiling lies; merits respect.

Comfortably justified short odds in small-field Stratford novice (2m, good to firm) in July and is now 4-7 over hurdles; faces tougher opposition on this handicap return but we don't yet know the limit of his ability.
