A Mere Bagatelle

9st 4lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: James Owen

Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut.

11st 12lb

J: Alex Chadwick

T: James Owen

Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race.

12st 0lb

J: Alex Chadwick

T: James Owen

Ex-Irish; yet to win for new yard, but fair second of five at Lingfield when dropped back to 2m last time (heavy); should improve on back at 2m4f.

J: Lewis Saunders

T: James Owen

Not the only one for whom the drop back in trip looks advisable on recent evidence, and although still winless on soft or worse, he does act on ground this slow; remains above any mark ever defied, however.

J: James Bowen

T: James Owen

Four wins for Shark Hanlon divided between hurdles/fences; respectable Flat efforts for James Owen before an 11.5l defeat on return to hurdling at Worcester (in this new headgear combination); will need to better than form here back from 144 days off.
