Remote third in a different race on this card 12 months ago; returns in good form after winning a point by ten lengths and a Stratford hunter chase by 12l; can give her running but probably relying on one or two of these being below par.

Finished last of three finishers in a hunter chase at Cheltenham last April (3m2f, good) but it was still a fair effort; had a useful confidence-giver on latest start and she has a good run in her today.

Won Irish maiden point in April (yielding ground) and returned to racing under rules with good third at Tipperary (3m, good to yielding; form well advertised by winner since) last month; upped in trip for today's stable debut; interesting to see how he fares.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed after only six runs and was clear second on rules debut at Punchestown (2m5f, yielding) in April; that form isn't anything out of the ordinary and he fell when last in action but he could have more to offer if this new trip suits.

Strong stayer who won one of his points over 3m4f and he stayed on well to be second over Exeter's 3m last time; balance of point form suggests he'll be vulnerable, with ground to make up on Pyleigh Court and Theshoddytradesman.

Unsuited by a drop to 2m4f three starts back but four wins either side of that, including the only open level success in this line up at Trebudannon latest (3m4f, soft); 0-3 return on good ground versus 4-8 on softer becomes a concern if no rain, but stays well and case is strong.

OR:

Form & Verdict
0-6 in points but attracted market support and seemed to display significant improvement when second to Kaproyale (runs in 5.35 race) on recent rules debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good); another big step forward is needed here, though.
