Won at 40-1 at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) in March 2023 off 2lb higher mark; no worthwhile form since, including last two runs over fences; returns from ten-month layoff and hard to enthuse over.

Percy Veering

J: Jack Hogan

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

Completed a soft-ground hat-trick in late 2023 and, having had wind surgery, he returned to form with a close second over 3m here in November (soft), pulling clear with the favourite; off for 97 days, but goes well fresh so has clear claims off 3lb higher if he stays and handles this quicker surface.

Form & Verdict
Has run well since cheekpieces were tried on last two starts, winning at Fakenham (2m7f, good) and finishing a close third off the same mark at Southwell (3m2f, good); up 8lb and not sure to run as well on this softer ground with no cheekpieces.

1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough.

J: Sean Quinlan

Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap.

No more than minor promise in his novices and off what looked a tough mark he was pulled up here on his handicap debut (2m4f); this longer trip may help but he's a risky one for now.

Promise in his second point run; has shown some aptitude for hurdling, including over C&D a fortnight ago when keeping on in the straight; couldn't say he was thrown in for this handicap debut on racecourse achievement but he brings untapped potential.

Has improved for cheekpieces, winning off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell (3m2f, good) and finishing third at Huntingdon (3m1f, good); still feasibly treated but best form on good ground.

First and third in good-ground handicap hurdles earlier this year before struggling under softer conditions; the ground is therefore a worry and he goes without the cheekpieces that were working well.
