Only 1lb higher than for his handicap win over hurdles; made some mistakes when beaten 17l into third in his first chase at Newbury and reportedly unsuited by the turns of Fontwell last time; can go well. |

Hurdle and dual chase winner at around 2m3f, including on good; may be better for last month's return from a break at Chepstow and, if so, he's not written off from this 3lb lower mark. |

Back in good form this spring (placed three times) and didn't run badly when fifth on latest outing three weeks ago, but there are still more obvious options than this high-mileage 7yo. |

Won four times over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, the latest a selling handicap off 1lb lower; solid efforts in three Southwell handicaps (2m-2m4f) for this yard and unlikely to be far away. |

Ended a long losing run at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) in January but was pulled up in next two runs; bounced back with a fair fourth at Southwell last time but he was some way behind the first two in that race and needs to build on that; both wins have been at shorter trips but he stays this far. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Ex-French; fourth of seven at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May was easily his closest finish in five British handicaps but even that gives him serious work to do; 63l behind the winner four weeks ago; tongue-tie (worn initially in France, where he did better without) returns. |

Well held in three handicaps for this stable (2m-2m5.5f) before finishing a respectable fourth of seven at Fontwell upped to 3m2f in May (refitted cheekpieces, retained); others make more appeal with the drop back in trip a concern, returning from a five-month break. |

Went backwards in two outings after his win at Wetherby on Boxing Day and left Tom Lacey for £13,000 in May; stayed on from the rear when fifth at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month on stable debut; more needed. |

Looked progressive when winning in this headgear combination at Wetherby on Boxing Day and it was in a tongue-tie/visor combination that he disappointed in his final two runs for Tom Lacey; only a 5yo and could be a good buy at £13,000; not ruled out with the cheekpieces back on. |

11yo who wasn't quite at his best at Newton Abbot last time but won at Bangor (2m7f, good) two starts ago and landed this race in 2022 (good); his course form-figures read 211 and he's capable of having a say if conditions are favourable (good ground seems to suit best nowadays). |

Irish bumper winner (1m7f, good to yielding) who won on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) last October and has run creditably in defeat since at up to 2m3f; lightly raced and could have potential off opening mark. |
