Form & Verdict
Record of 3-8 over hurdles; no win in first 19 starts on the Flat but he came good in this sphere with an emphatic win at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on recent stable debut; 3lb well in under a penalty for that strong-finishing success and he's a big player again back up in trip.

3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe (often with forcing tactics) and he won his first two on the Flat once joining this yard; solid fourth of 13 from the rear at Warwick (2m, good to soft; kept on) 11 days ago; respected.

Form & Verdict
Four wins on AW in his last seven starts, including with a late thrust over 2m at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; now drops back in trip but he's only 2lb higher and was a creditable second over C&D on penultimate run; respected.

9st 9lb

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Fanshawe

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been gained over 1m at Lingfield (AW) and he was well held on his step up to 1m6f here last time; that was behind a well-handicapped rival but he didn't seem to get home in that race and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Sole win was in a 1m novice at Newcastle (Tapeta) last November; handicap form never came to much for Mick Appleby and she's not made an impact in three runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but she's now 1-10 and has stamina to prove at this new trip.
