Form & Verdict
Obviously a concern that he was turned over at odds-on when encountering heavy ground for the first time at Fontwell (2m3f), though it wasn't a bad run and this looks an easier race; had previously finished second of 16 in a Newbury 2m maiden on good to soft; the one to beat.

Began last season in excellent form, notably when winning Gerry Feilden at Newbury (2m, good to soft); off since staying on to snatch third in William Hill Hurdle there (2m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in February but, on that evidence, he's well worth another crack at 2m4f; no headgear today.

Unraced dam from family of high-class hurdler Mighty Mogul; bought for £105,000 after comfortably winning an Irish point in November (3m, soft; form worked out); ran freely and dropped away in a heavy-ground bumper at Newbury but went off at only 11-4 and she's surely capable of better.
