Sold out of Charles Hills's yard for 32,000 gns last October; showed improvement stepping up in distance when winning on handicap debut at Haydock (1m2f, soft) last month; first-time cheekpieces now on and steps up another 2f in a tougher race.

Form & Verdict
Consistent sort who deservedly got off the mark (tenth attempt) when making all over 1m on soft ground here last month; 5lb higher today; he drew clear close home under Rose Dawes and there's ever chance he'll stay this new trip (there are hints of stamina in his pedigree); on the shortlist.

Dual hurdle winner at around this trip last year (Chepstow maiden and Sedgefield novice); comes into this having won a Carlisle handicap on the Flat three weeks ago (1m1f, soft); quite interesting.

Has a record of 3-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; creditable third at Newbury (1m4f, good) on seasonal debut most recently; major player off same mark, assuming he copes with this drop back in trip (stiff track and forecast slow ground are helpful in that respect).

J: Donagh Murphy

T: Faye Bramley

Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off on handicap debut at Chester (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago and something to prove on the back of that; however, perhaps she failed to take to that unique track and she was an encouraging second of five in a novice here (1m, soft) last month; not written off.

Form & Verdict
On a competitive mark on last season's form at up to 1m and this drop back in trip may help; however, he's been well beaten on both runs this term, more recently at Doncaster (1m4f, first encounter with soft ground), and needs to turn things around; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.
