Form & Verdict
Beginning to look exposed after nine runs but is fairly consistent; didn't run badly when midfield in Class 4 handicap at York (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and has good chance on the figures; ought to be a tough nut to crack, particularly if the ground ends up soft or heavy.

Two wins last year, the latter in runaway fashion over 1m4f here in November (6lb higher today); shot up the weights and found it tough since but he is creeping back down again; unraced on Flat beyond 1m4f.

Kept on for modest third over C&D (good to firm) on debut in June but didn't build on that performance when only ninth on AW last month (again ran green) and is seemingly still a work in progress.

Fair form on all three starts, most recently when third of eight in Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) on turf debut in June; does not have much to find if the longer trip/slower ground suits.

Form & Verdict
Out of a half-sister to a US 1m1f Grade 3 winner and kept on well for very respectable second of four behind 1-8 favourite on debut at Ripon (1m, good) last month; it's tricky to nail down exactly what he achieved in that tactical race but, nevertheless, it was an encouraging start.

Dual Flat winner who scored on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and came second on both subsequent hurdling starts (2m5f/2m; form well advertised by the two winners since); not at best when back on the Flat last month but a major player.

Won two handicaps (1m6f/2m) on the Flat last season and he's done well switched to hurdling for new yard since May including a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good); still has potential as a stayer on the Flat and he's in the mix back in this sphere.
