Ex-Irish maiden who is untested beyond 6f and was unable to land a telling blow on either start for new stable this spring; today's step up in trip is an interesting move but the others all have much less to prove.

J: Brendan Powell

Didn't come off the bridle when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (2m Class 4, good) in June for his third win over hurdles; ran well when third over C&D subsequently (Indemnity second and a few of these rivals behind); latest Perth effort (fifth) was slightly underwhelming.

Fair Flat racer who won three of his first four hurdling starts and was creditable third in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) on latest outing four weeks ago; not yet fully exposed over jumps; must be considered.

He's had a very productive year with five wins in the bag and yet still on a realistic mark; however, his latest run wasn't his best and he has never won over this far.

The winner of five races this summer, latterly getting the better of Prefer The Sister over 7f here last month (6lb better off with that rival today); well drawn to attack but could help set this up for a finisher.

Signed off for Chris Wall with two disappointing AW runs in the autumn but, with blinkers removed, she held on well for narrow C&D win (good to firm) on seasonal/stable debut three weeks ago; obvious contender if able to build on that performance.

Form & Verdict
Gained all five wins on AW but lost out only by a head when clear second off his lower turf mark at Lingfield (7f, good to firm; refitted cheekpieces) a fortnight ago; went up 3lb for that and the headgear is left off here, but he still features prominently in calculations.
