Had been progressing in handicaps before bolting up in a C&D mares' handicap hurdle last month; up 10lb but well worth a try in a higher grade and could well play a hand. |

10st 13lb |
Another ex-Gavin Cromwell inmate who secured narrow win over fences at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in June; 0-5 for this yard but February's close second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on penultimate start was a creditable effort; stable in fine form. |

Hurdle/chase winner for Gavin Cromwell who has improved with each of his four runs for this yard, most recently close second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft); that looked a warm little race and he's respected. |

Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

Scored at the 25th attempt at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month and ran well off 6lb higher when runner-up back there under identical conditions ten days later; this hold-up performer could go well again but his overall record makes him a risky proposition for win purposes. |
