Didn't always look straightforward for Andrew Balding for whom his form petered out; however, he won two of his eight races (1m/1m2f) for that yard and has joined another good one to go hurdling; bought for 20,000gns.

Two runs last September, shaping nicely at Thirsk (7f, good) before another close third at Haydock (1m, heavy); gelded after latest run; new trip should suit; more to come this year.

Opened his account at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) last month and bettered that effort when a close third over C&D seven days ago off the same mark; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim is unavailable here, but another effort of that calibre would put him firmly in the mix.

J: Paddy Hanlon

Made the breakthrough over hurdles at the seventh attempt, getting the better of the long-odds-on favourite in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm; 6-1) 12 days ago; what that form amounts to is questionable, and this Class 4 contest is much more competitive.

15-race maiden but has competitive form on the Flat and in maiden hurdles; beaten 18l when ninth of 20 in a Down Royal handicap three weeks ago, which wasn't that bad a run; this is far less competitive.

Better on AW but he did win on good to firm last May; placed in two of his AW starts last winter but tailed off in a hot 2m race at Easter (hooded) and well beaten when returned to turf at Salisbury in May; now tries cheekpieces and a lower turf mark is largely negated by being 4lb out of the handicap.

Three-time winner whose sole success on turf came over C&D (good to firm) just under one year ago; also scored off this mark on AW (1m6f) in September but has been very in and out on last four starts, including when tried in a hood (removed) and beaten 32l in valuable AW event last time; drops back down in grade from lower turf mark and can make presence felt if on a going day.

Big prices and just minor 7f promise in two starts last year before well beaten on reappearance at Beverley (1m2f, soft) eight weeks ago; handicaps more realistic but others have more obvious claims.
