Form & Verdict
It was always going to be tough in Newbury's Betfair Hurdle last time and he duly struggled at 25-1; had been doing well with front-running tactics but in his previous handicap he did come up short off a 14lb lower mark; soft fine, but bit to prove on heavy.

Acts on soft; front-running novice hurdler who has a solid record this term, with close second at Exeter flanked by wins at Chepstow (handicap/novice); new mark and sharp rise in class make for a tougher assignment but he's improving.

J: James Bowen

T: Nicky Martin

Last season's hood has been removed for his two handicaps this season and he's improved, comfortably making all over C&D and beaten a head at Exeter (also 2m on good to soft); that's six races over hurdles in total, so he's seen far more action than most of these, and he needs further improvement.

Form & Verdict
Remote sixth in an Ascot maiden on stable debut and dropped out very tamely on handicap debut (2m3f, soft); there was promise in his French runs (on very soft) and it's still early days, so he's by no means discounted.

Six-race maiden; runner-up twice in France and filled the same position at Lingfield (2m3f, heavy) on latest British start; dam's side suggests he may improve for this new trip; less exposed than most of his rivals and warrants respect.

Heavy-ground winner in Ireland; left Gordon Elliott after a disappointing Flat run in the autumn; ran okay on debut for this yard but it was all very laboured when tailed off at Chepstow ten days ago (2m, heavy).

Form & Verdict
2-3 this season and finished well to narrowly repel a shorter-priced stablemate at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy); Oliver Boyden rides again off just 4lb higher and his ability to handle these conditions will count for a lot.
