Form & Verdict
Achieved far more in his Ayr hurdles debut near-miss last December (2m, soft) than Dollar Collar did in hers, running to an RPR of 125 and beating three next-time winners; return to this trip and course orientation looks the way to go after struggling in a warm Ascot contest latest.

Fourth in this last year (good to soft) and he comfortably made all at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) in February; pulled up at Fontwell 15 days later but that was a Grade 2; could make a bold bid back in a handicap.

Very useful handicapper who picked up a third hurdle race when comfortably landing Warwick handicap (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; something to find in this company but he's in form and the type to run above himself.

2m/3m winner over hurdles; reappearance was encouraging but fell over fences next time and wasn't at his best back in this discipline at Haydock (3m, good to soft); nothing wrong with this mark if he can get himself back on track; ground fine.

C&D bumper winner on good; mistakes under pressure consigned him to a head defeat on last month's Newcastle hurdles debut, but at the same time confirmed effectiveness on deep ground; player with a tidier round.

Staying-on third in the last of three quick Irish point runs in May 2022 (3m, good); absent since so this stable debut may be needed, though a little encouragement for 2m hurdles in the immediate family.

Placed behind the subsequent Punchestown Festival winner Daddy Long Legs at Ludlow (2m novice; 80-1) in April; raced keenly and weakening out of contention when hampered and unseated rider on handicap debut at Bangor (2m, good) last month; 3lb lower; improvement necessary.

Year's absence and reluctance to settle eventually caught him up on last month's Carlisle return (2m1f, heavy); should find a race, but prospects likely brighter in handicaps over further.

9yo who has had an interrupted career and is 0-10; hard to fancy on the majority of his form but he didn't run badly in a novice at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) recently on his second start back from a long absence and has far more realistic claims now back in a handicap; cheekpieces go on.

3m heavy-ground Irish point winner, but although done few favours by the slow tempo rallied well on her Ayr novice hurdle debut last month to fail by just under 1l; would have appealed more upped to further already, but there's certainly ability there and she remains of interest.
