Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Had the benefit of experience when thrashing The Kalooki Kid by 13l in a 2m bumper here (good to soft) last October, before finishing runner-up to a progressive type on hurdles debut (Wetherby); 12-month break before making all against inferior rivals at Market Rasen (2m4f) four weeks ago; penalised but sets the standard.

Won off 2lb lower at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but he's not seen much action since and has been beaten 39l in both runs this year; has some questions to answer and he needs a big turnaround.

Course winner (2m5f, good) a year ago; absent since disappointing run in January but his C&D (good to soft) second just after Christmas was a good effort and he'll be right in the thick of things if back on song today.

Campaigned at Kelso (2m5f/2m6f) since last April, posting form figures of 132; edging back up the weights and now goes into a much bigger field switched back to elsewhere; not certain to remain competitive.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in an Irish point (3m) prior to joining Michael Scudamore; switched to Lucinda Russell this term and made a pleasing start when runner-up in a Hexham bumper (2m, soft; 15-8 favourite); less effective on heavy ground at Uttoxeter since and needs improvement switched to hurdles in a competitive affair.

Fair handicapper when trained by Lucinda Russell and 2-6 in points for current stable, the latter win gained in three-runner mixed open at Edgcote (3m, good) last month; probably has a big role to play in this.
