Sole win on the Flat came here over 1m2f in June 2024 and he's finished runner-up over this C&D on his last two outings; no reason why he can't go well again.

Form & Verdict
Fair maiden on the Flat for the Johnston stable and he may improve for his recent hurdle/stable debut at Newcastle (2m, good to soft), but he was one place behind Freddy Robinson in fifth of six and others are preferred.

23-race maiden; wasn't beaten far (1.75l) when fourth to today's rival Spirit Of Ash over C&D in November, and meets that mare on improved terms if factoring in the 7lb claim of Tom Kiely-Marshall; latest effort excusable (1m6f), so isn't a forlorn hope from a career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Twice produced a useful RPR of 88 on the Flat, when making all at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) in August and when second at Newcastle (2m, AW) last month; also effective on soft ground; brings potential to this hurdle debut and could play a leading role in first-time cheekpieces.

3 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Talented on the Flat, posting an RPR of 79 when winning for Richard Fahey at Beverley in June; could make a hurdler but two of the other jumps newcomers have superior Flat form and he has to bounce back from a below-par run on his stable/AW debut at Newcastle last month.

Form & Verdict
Improved form on the Flat for Richard Hannon this summer, going very close at Ffos Las (1m2f, soft) then winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); changed hands for 72,000gns in August and gelded since; with a peak Flat RPR of 89 he has the potential to be useful over hurdles; firmly in calculations.
