Form & Verdict
Multiple point winner and has won five over fences; 0-14 as a hurdler but ran well on his return to this discipline at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft), going down narrowly; the winner was well beaten back there last weekend but clearly a major player in this weak a race.

J: Mr Tom Broughton

T: Fergal O’Brien

2m6f novice hurdle winner for this stable last summer prior to finishing a 21l second back over fences at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in September; needs to improve on a couple of modest efforts in points this year for Hannah Lewis now back under rules over fences and returned to his former stable; likely to prove vulnerable for the win to a less exposed type.

Safely held in plating company on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Stratford (2m2f, good); 8lb lower here but needs significant improvement, and it's questionable whether today's stamina test will suit this former Flat-racer.

Displayed some ability at a modest level on the Flat but safely held on all four hurdling starts, most recently when remote third of five in 2m6f novice here last month; 8lb out of the weights for today's handicap debut and difficult to enthuse over.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Gordon Elliott; odds-on when successful over 2m2f at Market Rasen and beaten 17l (2m4f, good) and 18l (2m6f, heavy) in his two subsequent runs; was at least beaten by the right horses (both long odds-on) and probably has only Cheltenam De Vaige to beat.
