Pulled up on latest hurdling start in February but the form of his Market Rasen second (2m, good to soft) a fortnight earlier worked out well, and he was placed twice on the Flat last month; a possible.

Newmarket raider; disappointing on AW last time but won at Musselburgh (12.5f, good; handicap debut) earlier in September, shaping as if 1m6f will suit, and may have more to offer back on turf; remains of interest.

Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; well-held fifth of 13 on hurdling debut at Hereford in February but she left that form well behind when justifying favouritism with a 14l win at Kempton (2m, good) last month; has a penalty but that was an impressive win and she could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strongly respected.
