26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up in juvenile handicap at the Festival here in March but has otherwise been very consistent over hurdles; 9l adrift of Dodger Long when second in recent Chepstow handicap (2m, good to soft) and only 3lb better off today, but not ruled out each-way. |

Third in a Listed hurdle before finding the Boodles too hard at Cheltenham; finished a 9l fourth off 2lb higher at Musselburgh two weeks ago and he'll need to better that here. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Record of 3-8 over hurdles; no win in first 19 starts on the Flat but he came good in this sphere with an emphatic win at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on recent stable debut; 3lb well in under a penalty for that strong-finishing success and he's a big player again back up in trip. |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe but 0-19 on the Flat, albeit placed eight times including in his sole AW start over 1m6f here back in March; makes his debut for his new yard (same owner) and has something to prove down in trip. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Good second on Nottingham reappearance (1m, good) and it's easy to put a line through his subsequent run at Epsom as he endured a nightmare passage; not discounted. |
10/1 |

31st May 2024 Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Two wins over 1m2f last July, plus 1m and 1m1f wins in September and a hurdles win in October; more to prove on worse than good to soft but he returned from his winter break with a good, neck second at Nottingham (1m) three weeks ago; needs a bit extra but whether the ground is suitable is probably the chief issue. |

29th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but posted a good effort when third at Warwick (2m, good) this month and his Flat stamina suggests today's step up in trip might suit; one to consider. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 |
5th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Placed without genuinely threatening over hurdles and has ground to make up with Ez Tiger on their recent Plumpton clash; that was after a lengthy break so may find something on that form, though clearly needs to. |

Ex-French 4yo who has low mileage; opened his account in 1m3f novice event here in January and built on that when fourth to the reopposing Ocean Heights on his C&D handicap debut three weeks later; could easily have more to offer; on the shortlist. |

Not one to dismiss completely, being a recent C&D winner, but needs to bounce back from a Southwell defeat where he finished about 5l behind Come On John; just 1-15 on Flat. |

Lightly raced on the Flat and runner-up at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in March on last start in this code; she did well in juvenile hurdles last season and has potential off this modest Flat mark if tapping into her hurdling ability now up in trip; interesting. |

Verdict
I Still Have Faith (second choice) didn’t achieve a great deal in his C&D win but he’s undoubtedly capable of much better. The prolific pair of Gifted Angel and Max Of Stars are viable contenders but perhaps hurdling newcomer ROYAL DEESIDE can overcome his inexperience.[Jonathan Neesom]
