Made all in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) for Evan Williams in February but was quickly back in the doldrums next time; sold for £6,5000 in May; no cheekpieces for today's stable debut; versatile regarding ground but not an easy horse to predict.

Form & Verdict
Four course wins and back to form when chasing home Arcade Attraction over C&D last month; 5lb rise for that defeat is a bit of a body blow but he has won on soft and likely to give it his best shot again.

Won over fences here (2m5f, good) last spring and doubled her course tally in modest handicap hurdle (2m7f, good) a week ago; far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but reverts to chasing on a good mark and has obvious claims if in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
Two wins last season but not at that level in two outings this term; well held at Newton Abbot latest and may be better going right-handed (both wins that way around); Sean Bowen booked but others appeal more.

9 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Recent efforts have been lacklustre but he was runner-up (off much higher marks) in his first two chases at the start of the year; risky but back at a more suitable trip and acts on soft so by no means impossible.
