11st 12lb

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Mark Walford

0-17 over hurdles but went close when runner-up at Market Rasen in January and again in a Cartmel seller in May; well below that level on both starts since, including when well held on the Flat 18 days ago; not ruled out if bouncing back.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Mark Walford

1m AW winner for Tom Clover who has been mostly hurdling for this yard; went close in January and again in Cartmel seller on penultimate start; didn't shape with much promise in two turf handicaps (1m/1m2f) in between but his Flat mark has come down quite sharply.

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Mark Walford

Still a maiden after 16 starts over hurdles, though he has plenty of placed form and looked set to score before being caught close home in a Cartmel seller (2m1f, good) 17 days ago; requires more back in handicap company but has solid place claims.

T: Mark Walford

Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles, though does have placed form off this mark; it wasn't too bad a run 19 days ago at Market Rasen.

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Mark Walford

0-14 over hurdles, and C&D second in January (good to soft) was the fourth time he's been beaten under a length in this sphere; not obviously ungenuine for all that, however, and he'll likely be just right for this after a couple of recent Flat spins; no ground concerns.
