Dead-heated in an Irish point in April last year; has shown very little in three novice hurdles, the latest after wins surgery; would barely warrant a glance on chasing/handicap debut but represents top team at the track so impossible to dismiss out of hand.

Pulled up/tailed off on his two hurdle starts; however, he won a point and was second in a bumper last year, and having had wind surgery since his last run it's possible he will return to form; not ruled out each-way.

4 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Australia gelding who has shown fair form on both his bumper starts, cheekpieces on when third of ten at Southwell in July; had wind surgery since; that form has worked out well so he's one to consider after a break with the headgear retained.

Won readily in first-time tongue-tie at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June but her form has slumped since; can be excused her most recent defeat (on heavy ground) but still arrives here with a point to prove.

Form & Verdict
Hunter's Light half-brother to three winners, notably fairly useful Burrows Lane (bumper/2m4f hurdle); dam, French maiden, is a sister to French 2m1f-3m3f hurdle/chase winner Lagunak (Grade 1); appeals on paper so needs a market check.
