Form & Verdict
Improved once handicapping, getting off the mark at Taunton (2m, soft) last month; well-held third of 11 off a 14lb higher mark at Exeter (2m3f, good) eight days later; back down 5lb and although hs stamina for this sort of trip remains unproven, the sharp track should help in that regard; player.

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.

Form & Verdict
Showed little in his first three starts, but took a big step forward when making a successful handicap debut at Taunton (2m, good) 13 days ago; the better ground looked a big help and he is much respected despite a 7lb rise.

Winning hurdler/chaser for the Moores and still fairly treated on his runner-up efforts at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) in the spring; picked up for £16,000 last month and shortlisted on stable debut, especially if market positive.

Form & Verdict
Made the most of a drop in the weights when making it 16th-time lucky over C&D (good) last month; that's not strong form and he is back up 6lb, but his proven ability to handle this tight track does count for something; shortlisted.

Won off 1lb higher over C&D (good) for the Newland/Insole stable in April but both runs for John and Rhys Flint this season were very disappointing and he was tailed off for latest new trainer this month; the return to this track is a big plus but it still takes a leap of faith to support him.
