Form & Verdict
Three wins since August (2m/2m1f, good to firm-good to soft) and his fine form continued when second of 15 at Stratford (2m2f, good) most recently; unproven on soft ground; every chance he'll be bang there once more.

There has been the odd fair run over fences, over hurdles and on the Flat this year but he has a patchy profile nowadays and is 6lb out of the handicap here; it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Displayed some promise on two of her first three hurdle starts (both 2m, good) and she was running well, albeit with a fair way still to go, when making a very bad mistake three out at Kelso (2m, good to soft) on her recent handicap debut; not ruled out.

Well beaten on his four hurdle starts in Ireland but he's won four times on the Flat this year (1m-1m2f, good) for his new yard and judged on that ability he could be well treated in his first handicap hurdle.

He's below his winning mark and he caught the eye of the stewards when keeping on for a near-14l sixth of 14 behind Lucky Lover Boy at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last time out; he may pose more of a threat today but he's won just one of his 24 hurdle starts and others are more compelling.
