Form & Verdict

Placed in two of his four bumpers and appeared to display improvement when close second on last month's seasonal/hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft), despite looking unsure at some of the early flights and racing a bit too freely; likely contender here.

Form & Verdict

Left poor bumper debut a long way behind when winning by 15l at Worcester (good) in June; raced too freely but ran well for a long way before weakening out of contention between last two flights on last month's hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); can last longer if he settles better here.

Made inauspicious Irish point debut a year but returned from break with two much better efforts in the spring, the latter a 17l win on good ground; interesting to see how he fares on today's rules debut.

Won five-runner Plumpton bumper (good) in May and made very respectable start to hurdling career when second of five at Hereford (2m3f, good to firm) last month; remote when third in better race at Exeter three weeks ago but still enters calculations here.

Placed in good-ground Uttoxeter bumper last November and made quite promising hurdle debut in January but signed off with two consecutive falls in the spring and a clear round might be his main priority today; cheekpieces fitted for first time.
