11st 11lb |
0-17 on the Flat and was disappointing at Brighton last time but he's still unexposed over hurdles and was runner-up in a C&D maiden last spring; returns from a short break and he needs watching in market on handicap hurdle debut. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in her four handicaps and was tailed off at Plumpton (3m1f) last time; may have had stamina issues in that race but things haven't clicked for her yet and she needs improvement back in trip. |

26th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Best run yet in handicaps when about a 10l fourth at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) but he did weaken late on and now goes up in distance; dangerous to underestimate his trainer's thinking but stamina has to be doubted. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual purpose sort who hasn't stood much racing since winning here (2m4f, soft) in July 2024; first run in this sphere since when a faller at Hereford in December; may need further and softer conditions to be at his best. |

9st 4lb |
Won over C&D in April last year after which he scored twice over hurdles; not beaten far into sixth of 12 here (1m6f) seven weeks ago, but that race was run at a crawl; others are more convincing. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Still a maiden and has failed to improve for the switch to chasing this term, though he is seemingly thought capable of better judged on his market position in those races; 5lb out of the weights. |

4th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Modest form over hurdles and hasn't shown significant improvement in two runs over fences; others stronger. |
14/1 |
Verdict
Handicap debutantes Delgany Dreamer and Starlight Glance (preferred in that order) are both open to improvement but Bangor maiden winner ON CLOUD NINE ran a big race when third in a soft-ground handicap at Uttoxeter last month and gets the nod.[Chris Wilson]
