Dual hurdles winner; two contrasting results switched to fences this term, much better effort when second at Stratford (2m3f) on reappearance; possibilities if back to that form. |

11st 12lb |
A 10l winner over hurdles last season (off 10lb lower) before losing his way; perked up by the switch to fences when second at Stratford (2m3f, soft), though the winner barely went a yard early on and still managed to win; there are doubts as to the strength of that form. |

Eight-race maiden who has not really progressed and was beaten 15l when third at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last month; that was after a break but he needs to find more with cheekpieces added here. |

11st 5lb |
Best form when winning a good-ground Ludlow handicap (2m5f) in May and he wasn't beaten far when upped to 2m7f at Worcester in July; not obviously ahead of his mark but he should still be a factor at this level. |

Easy winner of a good-ground handicap at Ludlow (2m5f) in May off 10lb lower but hasn't quite matched that level in two runs since; worth a try over this longer trip but others have more pressing claims. |

Respectable sixth over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in March and now 4lb lower than when winning in that sphere last spring but lacked fluency and was pulled up on his only previous chasing attempt (in December). |

27th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Jumping has been an issue since he switched to chasing in the spring but there is little doubt he has the ability to win off his current mark if/when everything goes to plan; ran on well for third at Ludlow (2m, good) three weeks ago, having lost significant ground when slipping on landing at fourth-last fence, and can't be ignored here. |

Rapidly progressive mare who is 3-3 since switched to fences last month, the latest win gained in 16-runner handicap at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft); should be fine on this right-handed track and could easily have untapped potential over the new trip; commands respect. |

4yo who won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in September and was a good second at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) next time; unplaced favourite at Fakenham most recently but perhaps that run came too soon; retains potential and he's bred to stay today's trip. |
