Form & Verdict
No match for Coal Stock in the closing stages at Newton Abbot two weeks ago and, after a bold effort from the front, was reeled in at that track on Tuesday, making it 14 losses since a January win; 6lb better off with the top one but hard to be that confident.

Form & Verdict
No surprise that he struggled at 2m in a Bangor hurdle 11 days ago, on return from a break; should be sharper for that and one of last season's three wins came over C&D; the old man of the party but foolish to ignore.

Enjoying a fine summer with two Stratford wins and shade unfortunate (slipping saddle) when second at Southwell latest; another 6lb rise in stronger company asks a lot from this 13yo, however.

Form & Verdict
Progressive over hurdles in the spring and gained a first chasing win, at the third attempt, when readily beating El Paso Wood at Newton Abbot two weeks ago (made most); 3lb rise fair and live chances again.

Form & Verdict
Bolted up over C&D in July and of considerable interest off just 5lb higher on that evidence; can be excused effort in the Summer Plate next time but travelled with little zest when well beaten back here latest, which takes some forgiving; stable not in usual vibrant form, either.
