Won comfortably at Fakenham (2m4f, good) and wilted only on the run-in off this 7lb higher mark at Worcester; only a 5yo and entitled to progress further now sent chasing. |

Took a while to get the hang of hurdling but he's thriving now and he won comfortably at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month; up 7lb but he still has untapped potential and could follow up. |

Did very well over hurdles for Jeremy Scott last spring/summer, winning four times on good ground; returned from layoff with low-key AW run for new stable three weeks ago but has slipped to a very tempting Flat mark. |

Off the mark at the 13th attempt under rules at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March, but finished a well-held fourth of seven at Taunton (3m, good to firm) last month; return to this trip should suit and one for the shortlist. |

Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f) and also ran well when upped to 3m2f for latest run; has plenty of pointing experience to call upon on this chasing debut; likely contender. |

With a good stable but is 0-6 over hurdles and has tended to spoil his chance with sketchy jumping and by refusing to settle; didn't achieve a great deal when remote third in uncompetitive Chepstow maiden last month; others are much less risky. |

Winning pointer who was 1-8 over fences when trained in Ireland, but his three efforts over hurdles for this yard have been moderate to say the least; the return to fences needs to bring about a transformation. |

Retains some ability but consistency isn't her forte; drops in trip and she holds each-way claims at a track she's run well at before. |
