Form & Verdict
Useful Flat performer who made it third-time lucky over hurdles with a dominant display after wind surgery at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; just about sets the standard under a penalty and he could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strong contender.

Showed the benefit of a wind op when winning here (2m2f, good to firm) and at Worcester (2m, good) this summer; safely held in competitive series final at Worcester (2m4f, good) ten days ago but looks the one to beat in this much easier race.

Listed Flat winner as a 2yo and showed the benefit of his winter wind op when winning twice in good style over hurdles this summer; close second to Road To Wembley over C&D when upped in trip last month and goes on the shortlist, even though Harry Skelton appears to favour Down To Business.

Form & Verdict
On his third trainer and has rather chequered form but he won on hurdling debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in May and ran to a similar level when runner-up under a penalty at Kelso later that month; struggled back on the Flat last time but that was in the Northumberland Vase and he's respected back in this sphere; tongue-tie and cheekpieces are added.

On his third trainer and has rather chequered form but well handicapped judged on best efforts, including his fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) in December off 7lb higher; first and second over hurdles for new yard this spring, with a never-dangerous ninth in the Chester Cup in between; worth a second look.

Useful handicapper on the Flat; made a winning hurdles debut at Sedgefield last month (2m1f, good), beating an odds-on shot who won next time, the pair well clear; penalised; the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; should have a future over hurdles but he made a low-key start in this sphere over C&D (good; 20-1) last month; stablemate of Chemistry.
