In terrific form of late, winning 2m3f Market Rasen handicap hurdle in May (good) and returned from a short break when strong-finishing neck second (clear of remainder) of 19 in 2m1f flat handicap here on Wednesday; clearly handles the track, should go well.

Three flat wins for various trainers in Britain and off the mark over hurdles for current trainer in 2m3f Market Rasen maiden in late May (good); had earlier not looked a straightforward ride on occasions; has had a break since.

J: Paul O’Brien

T: Jessica Bedi

Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk.

Outstayed over 1m6f when favourite at Nottingham three weeks ago, though showed he's still in form; largely consistent and is suited by this scenario, having won over C&D last August; solid.

Showed first bit of promise for this yard when a close third in a 1m4f soft-ground Limerick handicap in June, staying on late under tender handling; horse subsequently suspended for 60 days due to jockey being found not to have achieved best possible placing; Galway Hurdle winning trainer-jockey combination; could well be thereabouts.

Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat.
