J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Neil Mulholland

The winner of two bumpers and three hurdles; likes good ground; jumped well on recent chase debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) and was beaten just over 3l; that was after 202 days away, so there is good reason to believe he can improve again.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Third in an Irish point last October; never able to land a blow in a Newton Abbot bumper in March on British debut, having been held up in the last pair, but kept on steadily; that was probably a stronger contest and, even though he's likely to need further in time, is a leading player.

J: Tom Broughton

Made all for Fergal O'Brien here (2m5f, good) six weeks ago, his third start since returning to racing under rules; subsequent 5lb rise ought to be manageable if he continues in good form for new stable.

Winning UK pointer (2m5f/3m; good); beaten 24l by Ribeye over 3m here last time (soft) but is now 8lb better off and should fare better on this faster ground.

11st 11lb

J: Tom Broughton

T: Fergal O’Brien

Early promise in a bumper and novice hurdle for this yard but failed to fulfil it; two point wins for another trainer (along with some lesser efforts) over an 18-month spell ending in May but he dropped out back with Fergal O'Brien in June and goes chasing with a question to answer.

5 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
No promise in two attempts last winter but different story at Stratford this month, where he was only denied in the closing stages (backed at big odds); form of that open to question but still in the mix.

Dual hurdle winner last year, latterly over C&D (good) in October; absent since lesser effort here in November, though, and will need to resume in prime form to have a chance off his current mark.
