Dual novice hurdle winner at Taunton (2m3f/2m) last year on good and good to soft; disappointed in handicaps on either side of wind surgery the last twice; didn't settle that well the last time and fences could help in that respect.

Chase record is 5-11, the most recent win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last spring; seen only twice since but ran well in a notable handicap at Plumpton (2m1f) the latest time; possibilities at the weights, provided he stays the new trip.

Made it 5-9 over fences with convincing win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last May; pulled up on sole run since, at Ascot in December, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; second in this last year; could go well.

J: Harry Cobden

Chase career commenced with a four-timer last spring/summer; subsequently lost his form until running well, beating all bar a similarly useful stablemate, in major handicap at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last time; possibilities, provided he's as effective back up in trip.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 109

Form & Verdict
Limited hurdler (tailed off on handicap debut) but promises to be far better over fences judged on his winning start at Wincanton (1m7f, good); didn't beat a lot but impressed in how he did it and this 6yo can probably cope with the 10lb rise.

8yo who has form figures of 221 for his new stable this year and that win was a dominant display at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) three weeks ago after a break; up 7lb but that was a personal best and he may have more to offer.

First start for this stable when runner-up over C&D and had the hood back on then; no match for the winner at Newton Abbot but that was behind a Skelton hotpot; respected.
