J: William Maggs

T: Donald McCain

10yo who returned from long absence with a pretty encouraging fourth in 0-135 at Haydock in December; he's well treated on his old form and could be in the mix now dropping into a 0-125; wins have come on good/good to soft.

Form: P-2111 CD

Last run: 34 days

W: 11st 4lb

9 yo Gelding

OR: 132

Form & Verdict
Unbeaten in three starts since cheekpieces went on, one of them over C&D; has climbed the handicap at a pace but hard not to be impressed with the ease of his latest two wins.

J: Luca Morgan

T: Ben Pauling

All wins between June and August and he has figures of 312 returning from over six months out, so won't necessarily need the run (has had wind surgery since last outing last October); trying to cash in on lower hurdles mark makes sense, and he's 3-7 under Luca Morgan.

prominent, dropped to midfield after 2nd, headway 8th, every chance when mistake 2 out, soon left in lead, ridden and headed home turn, soon weakened

Much improved since fitted with cheekpieces in the summer, completing hat-trick at Market Rasen (2m3f, good); beaten 8l by sole rival at Stratford last time but the winner boosted the form by following up; has risen in the weights but has solid credentials.
