Form & Verdict

Lightly raced 4yo who is 2-2 in handicaps including a dominant display at Warwick (2m, soft; 8-13) on his recent stable debut; only 4lb higher than for that runaway success and he's open to more progress in his hat-trick bid; strong contender.

Form & Verdict

2-2 in bumpers but he's been well held in three hurdle runs including on comeback for new yard at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; still early days in this sphere and tongue-tie is now added but he needs improvement on his handicap debut; both wins have been on good ground.

Form & Verdict

No win in his first 23 starts over hurdles but after wind surgery he made all to score by 12l at Plumpton (2m, soft; 7-2) last Monday; has a penalty for that success but this step back up in trip is no problem and he could make another bold bid.
