Won on reappearance at Wetherby (2m4f, good to soft) and made it 4-6 over hurdles when returning to winning ways at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) four weeks ago; has also won elsewhere (first visit here); could be suited by today's extra yardage and he's a strong contender.

Form & Verdict
In the frame all five starts under rules, winning over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and running creditably when 6l third to Mr Bramley at Bangor (2m3f, heavy) two months later; 6lb better off with the winner but that rival may be open to more improvement.

Won 2m4f novice at Sedgefield (good to soft) after Christmas and fair efforts in defeat in the spring; however he didn't run much of a race on his handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) so no strong case this time.

Form & Verdict
Three-time bumper runner-up; arrives on a hat-trick after mares' hurdles wins at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in February and Plumpton (2m4f, soft; by 10l) in March; going the right way but takes on geldings today and faces a sterner assignment under a double penalty.

Triple hurdle winner who scored off 3lb higher at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last February; some creditable efforts since but she didn't fire in a mares' handicap at Market Rasen (tenth of 12) last month; needs to step up again after that and others are more persuasive.

In good hands and closely related to several winners, best of them Locks Corner, an eight-time scorer for Jonjo O'Neill; dam was unraced; pedigree suggests this trip should be within her range.
