Conditions to suit, second off 1lb lower over C&D on his latest Flat start; sprung a 50-1 surprise over hurdles at Ludlow 16 days ago; should go well back in this sphere.

Tailed off on hurdling debut but different story over C&D this month (in tongue-strap for first time) when beating several of these; 50-1 but no fluke about the win and followed up in Wolverhampton AW contest last Saturday; penalty for the course success but still strongly considered.

Very consistent at a fair level on the Flat since the autumn, and collected a 1m4f AW handicap in November (RPR 72), but dropped out rather tamely on recent hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and needs help from the first-time tongue-tie here.

Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark.

Finished second in three of five starts for Sir Michael Stoute; beaten favourite (well below par) on her stable debut at Southwell in January but she ran right up to her best when fourth of eight at Kempton 17 days ago (1m4f); this is slightly weaker and she could still have a bigger run in her.

Two good runs in Class 6 company at Chepstow in the summer, getting off the mark at the 14th attempt in August; bled from the nose when disappointing at that track in September; sold for 5,000gns in November and just the type that Mick Appleby will find races for; betting instructive.
