Form & Verdict
Cheekpieces on for the first time when getting off the mark for his current yard in 1m2f Flat handicap at Pontefract in May; cut little ice in three hurdling runs last winter but it would come as no surprise to see him go well on his handicap hurdle debut now.

Arrives on a lengthy losing sequence but he wasn't disgraced in refitted cheekpieces when sixth of 12 in C&D handicap eight days ago; he needs to back it up in retained headgear.

Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround.

Reliable 9yo who won at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November and ran respectably on most recent start when a 13l fourth of nine here (2m6f, good; reapplied visor, retained) in June, shaping as though she'd be worth a try over this longer trip; needs considering off 2lb lower.
