11st 12lb |
Won a Kelso novice hurdle in first-time cheekpieces last May (2m1f, good to soft); disappointing all three starts since, the second over 2m6f on soft at Newcastle; new headgear needs to bring about improvement. |

10yo who won a Kelso novice hurdle last May but has been below that level since in handicaps over fences and hurdles; does have placed form in handicaps in this discipline but last two runs were offputting. |

Tailed off over hurdles last time but ran well in that code in March; he's on a handy mark on last year's best Flat form; not ruled out. |

Sole success in 17 runs over hurdles came at Perth last summer (2m, good); he's consistent but not progressive and was a well-held fifth in this last year off the very same mark. |

Has won five chases at up to 2m3f but rather disappointing on last three starts (cheekpieces tried last time, but left off here); well treated on his best form but bit to prove back over hurdles. |

Five-time chase winner; needs to better his recent efforts but has conditions to suit here and has slipped to a very tempting mark; could be very dangerous if perked up by first-time cheekpieces. |

Glimmer of ability for previous yard but well adrift on handicap debut and pulled up for new stable in October; had wind surgery since and has a hood added to refitted tongue-tie; has work to do. |

Gave pretty good account before fading into fifth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday but he's 0-11 over hurdles now and has to compete from just out of the weights. |

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March; should be okay back at 2m on this stiff track but 7lb rise demands more from him. |
