Person Of Interest

11st 13lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Faye Bramley

Won over fences in Ireland last August (2m3f); his respectable stable debut was over hurdles (2m) and he was keeping on at the finish; wants further ideally but one to consider under Harry Cobden.

J: Richie McLernon

T: Faye Bramley

Emphatic winner of a handicap chase at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) last August but he's generally struggled since including in three runs this spring; overall record is now 1-18 and he has something to prove back over hurdles for new yard; equipment removed.

0-9 in points and 0-9 over hurdles but returned from 314-day break with very close second to progressive subsequent winner on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm); obvious contender if in similar form here.

0-9 in points (completed only three times) and has same strike-rate over hurdles; gave a fairly good account when fifth of 15 at Worcester (2m, good) last July but this chasing debut comes after a 314-day absence.

Had modest strike-rate when based in Ireland but belied 40-1 odds when very respectable third on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and has possibilities if able to build on that performance.

Ex-Irish 9yo with modest 1-28 strike-rate under both codes; absent since safely held in a chase in October; considered only if lively in the betting before this stable debut.

Won twice here last summer (2m1f/2m3f) but went right off the boil in the autumn and was pulled up when reappearing here (2m5f) last month; 11lb out of the weights today; has too much to prove.

Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song.

0-35, often placed; recent respectable efforts suggest he's on a tough mark but he's versatile regarding trip and Murray Dodd can claim his full allowance on this occasion, so he should still be competitive.
