Draco Malfoy

11st 12lb

J: Tom Bellamy

Soundly beaten in mid-division on last month's handicap debut in the EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft); however, that was a hot contest and this two-time novice hurdle winner (2m4f/2m5f, soft) retains potential, with the step up in trip a possible plus.

Good second to Get On George at Doncaster (2m3f, good) before landing the odds in a small field at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January; probably needs a bit more on today's handicap debut.

J: Charlie Todd

T: Dan Skelton

Point/bumper winner; the form of his novice win at Catterick has worked out well (2m3f, good) and he wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) despite a late mistake; how significant it is that Harry Atkins (aboard for both those runs; can do this weight) switches to Knickerbockerglory remains to be seen; respected nevertheless.

Point/bumper winner; beat an in-form rival with the pair clear in a 2m3f good-ground novice at Catterick (under Harry Atkins) and might be on a reasonable mark for this first handicap; softer ground won't hinder him.

Won 4yo hurdle at Hereford (2m, soft) last February on second start and he's been runner-up in both handicaps, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; that latest form reads well and he's a strong contender up 3lb.

Lightly raced junior hurdle winner; back from wind surgery when second in a three-finisher field at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) and the winner is seriously progressive; best form has been in the mud but needs considering.

Made all in junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m, heavy) 13 months ago and respectable third of five when back in action at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in November; 3-1 but pulled up in Leicester novice (about 2m4f; heavy) next time when his trainer blamed the tacky ground; makes his handicap debut following wind surgery and it is likely we haven't see the best of him.

No match for winner when second at Perth (2m4f, good; raced too freely) last month, after a break, but appeared to have quite a bit in hand when winning on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January and can be dangerous if new hood helps him to relax.

Doesn't always settle but his recent hurdles form features a comfortable win at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft); ran creditably at Catterick last time; possibilities, provided he takes well to fences.
