Form & Verdict
Placed in two bumpers and kept on for promising third on his recent hurdle and seasonal debut here (1m7f, good to soft); has nearly 3l to find with the runner-up Quaresome but there can be optimism this step up in trip will prompt improvement and his stable is in excellent form; respected.

T: Nicky Richards

Won last season's Scottish Champion Chase (2m4f, good to soft; his last win) off 5lb lower but only sixth in the same race when last seen two months ago and there were no clear excuses; this is a drop in grade but has never given the impression that he's a stayer in the making (unraced beyond 2m5f).

He needs to produce more than when fifth behind a couple of these over C&D (good to soft) on New Year's Day but that was just his second start of the season, after a 60-day break, and he could build on it today; won this last year (good to soft); has also won on soft here; possible contender.

Couldn't cope with the step up to Grade 1 level at Aintree in April (2m4f; 28-1) but had previously impressed when not overly troubled to win 2m3f/2m4f handicaps on good to soft; a sound jumper whose limitations wouldn't be exposed just yet.

Won a British maiden point (2m5f, good) on debut in May and, following £44,000 sale, she was a promising third on last month's rules debut at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft); that form reads well and this half-sister to the useful Born By The Sea is open to improvement; in calculations.

7yo who has shown improved form this season and won a Listed mares' hurdle at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; similar form when held in fourth in mares' Grade 2 there (3m, soft) three weeks ago and it seems likely she'll prove vulnerable today; wears a first-time hood.

Tailed off at 33-1 in Grade 3 mares' novice at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) three weeks ago when back from a break; however, she readily won a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding) in May and holds leading claims if returning to form now back up in trip and back down in grade.

Disappointing at Carlisle last time but perhaps the soft going didn't suit; prior to that this good-ground point winner was an encouraging fourth on his rules debut at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; Lavida Adiva third) and he could be in the mix now back on better ground.
