Consistent hurdler who won four times and the last of those was off this very mark; pointing background points to further progress as a chaser and she's not ruled out.

Defied top weight in Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen last time, taking chase record to 3-6; she's 2-2 at Perth but this looks a difficult task; first run beyond 2m5f under rules.

Form & Verdict
Sent straight chasing by Donald McCain and has finished first or second in all four starts from 2m4f to 3m2f; jumped well out in front to win over C&D 17 days ago off just 2lb lower; might be vulnerable to something better handicapped but has a solid chance.

Has done very well this season for new yard over fences, winning twice at Perth (2m4f, good) and going close there (2m4f, good) last time; he's going into the unknown stamina-wise but was a close second over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good to soft) in July and this progressive 7yo is not ruled out.

Made it 2-2 at Perth when making all to beat a few of these here 23 days ago, fending off Parisencore by just under a length; had nothing in hand but he's only 2lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Beat Dripsey Moon by just under 4l in a 2m5f novice hurdle at Kelso nearly a year ago, after which he contested a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (well held) in between two seconds in further novices; failed to give his running in a handicap the final time; wasn't the most fluent of hurdlers but fences could be the making of him.

Pulled up in the Edinburgh National but then made it 2-5 over fences with a game victory here over 3m2f; only 3lb higher and a tongue-tie is added; likely contender with Jack Power taking off 7lb (different rider claimed 3lb last time).

Form & Verdict
It was a very ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; not well-in under a penalty (down 2lb in future) but if in the same form as last time he won't be far away.

Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective.
