Form & Verdict
Record of 3-8 over hurdles; no win in first 19 starts on the Flat but he came good in this sphere with an emphatic win at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on recent stable debut; 3lb well in under a penalty for that strong-finishing success and he's a big player again back up in trip.

3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe (often with forcing tactics) and he won his first two on the Flat once joining this yard; solid fourth of 13 from the rear at Warwick (2m, good to soft; kept on) 11 days ago; respected.

Form & Verdict
Four wins on AW in his last seven starts, including with a late thrust over 2m at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; now drops back in trip but he's only 2lb higher and was a creditable second over C&D on penultimate run; respected.

9st 9lb

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Fanshawe

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been gained over 1m at Lingfield (AW) and he was well held on his step up to 1m6f here last time; that was behind a well-handicapped rival but he didn't seem to get home in that race and others are preferred.

T: Hughie Morrison

Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider.

Turf wins at 1m6f (good to soft) and 2m (good); quite well treated now and his AW reappearance was encouraging but he didn't fare so well back on turf in June and it's two years since he was risked on good to firm ground.

Form & Verdict
Sole win was in a 1m novice at Newcastle (Tapeta) last November; handicap form never came to much for Mick Appleby and she's not made an impact in three runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but she's now 1-10 and has stamina to prove at this new trip.
