Form & Verdict
All three hurdling runs last summer (for Ryan Potter) were at this track; won on debut and ran very well when second next time (both C&D) but well held in a handicap at 2m4f when last seen in August; tongue-strap missing on this first start for Laura Morgan; interesting and more so if backed.

2-4 over hurdles, the latter win gained on last month's stable debut at Worcester (2m, good); that was his first run since last summer and he moves back up in trip today, so there are reasons to believe he can progress again; leading contender.

Hat-trick last spring but not in that level of form so far this year; well held at Fakenham latest and due to go down 4lb in future; often front-runs but Pak Army a rival for that role.

A win in this race last season was the middle leg of a hat-trick and he's fully 14lb lower than when last successful; however, this 12yo has struggled to get competitive this year and a major turnaround is needed.
