Form & Verdict
Five-time AW winner who is 0-14 on grass but handicapped accordingly and he chased home a well-backed Gosden horse at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm); has to be a concern that he's not raced over this short a trip since his early days with Aidan O'Brien but needs respecting.

Not beaten far on any of his three hurdling starts for Fergal O'Brien this season and, given he was very useful on the Flat at his best, could quite plausibly turn out to be well treated for this handicap hurdle debut.

She was having just her second attempt over this trip when winning a C&D handicap last month, poaching enough of a lead in the final furlong to hold off the fast-finishing second; she'll need more to defy a small weights rise in a better race but that's not out of the question given her 2022 best.
