Form & Verdict
Has 8 AW wins to his name including a C&D Group 3 score; got back to winning ways over 1m4f two starts ago before running a cracker over C&D last time when the slow pace didn't suit; creeping up the handicap again but highly respected as seemingly the stable selected runner.

Form & Verdict
Won a 1m maiden here in December before a below-par effort in a handicap over the same trip; was probably flattered by his run in a C&D conditions race since but was raised 4lb for that, so has to improve more.

Won four of his 28 Flat races and had plenty of class about him at up to 1m4f, equalling career-best RPR of 101 when second in a Listed race only last month; interesting.

Won a C&D handicap on his final start for Mick Halford in October; has run well after an absence in the past and has the benefit of his capable claimer's 7lb concession; the market could be informative.

Useful Flat performer but has twice refused to race since March and was withdrawn at the start when due to make his hurdling debut at Bellewstown on Saturday, having been reluctant to line up; risky.

Was stakes-class a couple of years ago on the level for Michael Halford and some okay runs for Ado McGuinness this year when he consented to come out of the stalls, which he twice didn't; we'll find out here whether hurdles have sweetened him up.

Has some solid placed form over this C&D but he refused to race here in March and he's been very slowly away twice since; on a good mark if he can get his act together at the start; eye-shield fitted for the first time.

Comfortably got off the mark on second start for this yard when taking a 1m maiden last time; raised 4lb for that and up in trip but damline offers hope that she will stay, so is of interest.
