Fairly useful Flat-racer who is 2-6 over hurdles; pulled up in soft-ground Newbury handicap 33 days ago but has claims if judged on his close second off today's mark there (2m, good) three weeks earlier.

Form & Verdict
Consistent on Flat for George Boughey (RPR 87); pulled clear of the third when going down narrowly on his hurdling debut at Warwick (good to soft; no headgear) and soft ground perhaps found him out when a weakener here in cheekpieces; runner-up when wearing blinkers once before on the Flat; can go well.

Form & Verdict
Ridden by Rob Hargreaves on his last three starts and he did well to finish a 10l fourth in a Plumpton novice (2m, soft) last time given how freely he raced in front; doesn't look the easiest of rides but ability needs respecting in a handicap of this nature.
