Form & Verdict
0-12 over hurdles but a winning chaser and was bang there when falling at the final fence at Worcester (2m4f, good), with Bensini departing at the previous one; 10lb lower here back over hurdles so has to be considered.

He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed.

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted.

Bits of promise before he won a seven-runner novice contest at Bangor (2m, good) six weeks ago in his fourth handicap, in clearcut style despite interference and being 4lb out of the handicap proper; had wind surgery one week later; up 7lb today but the chief concern is that he was soundly beaten in all five starts on softer than good.
