Form & Verdict

Developed into a useful novice hurdler last season, with the latest of his four wins gained in Class 2 handicap at Kempton (2m5f, soft) in March; makes chasing debut after 160-day absence but ought to be too good for his opponent if he jumps adequately.

6 yo Mare

OR: 121

Form & Verdict

In good form over fences in the spring, notably when winning Grade 2 Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good) from a long way out of the weights in April; her chasing experience is an obvious asset here and she ought to cope fairly well with the soft ground, but she'll be very vulnerable on these terms if Outlaw Peter can transfer his hurdling form.

Ran well at the weights when beaten in a match last time (novice on heavy); in good form over fences in the spring, notably when winning Grade 2 Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good) from a long way out of the weights in April; 3lb wrong here but Tristan Durrell's claim takes care of that and she's not without hope.
