Form & Verdict
Consistent but made hard work of justifying 1-5 odds to get off the mark at Newton Abbot and then beaten at 4-11 there last week; again has leading claims but comes with risks unless a visor (replacing cheekpieces) helps.

Took form to new level when winning twice in a visor last June/July (2m5f/3m, good); needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high but returned from layoff with satisfactory run last month and has the visor refitted here.

Won the second of two Irish point starts (probably fortunate); sent off at 4-11 for this month's Market Rasen hurdle/stable debut but proved no match for the winner; cheekpieces quickly enlisted; should do better.

Point winner who made it 2-6 over hurdles with his emphatic win at Warwick (3m2f, soft) in November; disappointing in his follow-up bid at Lingfield 13 days later but that may have come too soon and he could resume his progress here after a break; respected for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Placed once from eight Irish point starts; both hurdle runs over C&D; tailed off in the first and then beaten less than 4l by only surviving rival in the second; probably unwise to take that literally.

0-8 but not the first time she's been placed when going down by only a length in new cheekpieces at Fontwell (3m2f, good); has what it takes to win one of these.

First foal from a bumper/low-grade hurdle winner; does not have a daunting standard to reach on this debut outing but is probably best watched all the same.
