Form & Verdict
Went very close at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last August and good to soft ground may not have been ideal when fifth at Kempton in November; he's had a recent spin on the Flat and could go well with good ground expected today.

Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race.

Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims.

Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting.

Hurdle winner on heavy in France but beaten in her other eight races there, five of those over fences (twice runner-up); joined these connections for 30,000euros and she was barely sighted before pulling up when 80-1 for the Boodles here in March; not easily recommended on the back of that, for all that this isn't as demanding; good ground a complete unknown.
