Form & Verdict
Made a winning hurdle debut here (2m4f, soft) last November and creditable fourth in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury (2m4f, soft) next time; creditable fourth of 21 in competitive handicap at Aintree (3m, good to soft) in April when last seen; his future probably lies over a longer trip than today's but this point winner is an exciting prospect for fences and could go well.

Fine over these fences in November; laboured from before three out when a well-beaten fifth to Haiti Couleurs in Irish National last April; that was in the mud, though, and his top efforts have been on good to soft; they include his neck second in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last March and, equipped with first-time cheekpieces after wind surgery, a 3m1f win from Jagwar at this year's Festival; able to race here off the same mark as last time (due to go up 6lb) and he wasn't stopping in either of those big races at Cheltenham; seriously considered.

Neck second in the Kim Muir here (3m2f, good to soft) 12 months ago; promise in defeat on his first two runs this season; not quite at the top of his game at Haydock last time but wind op since and cheekpieces are added; remains one to be interested in, especially given his Festival form.

Beaten just a neck in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft) last March and finished strongly for close third in the Silver Cup at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last month; every chance he'll be bang there.

Form & Verdict
Won late last year on first two hurdle starts (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft) and campaign concluded with creditable third in Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft; beaten 12l); this unexposed point runner-up is open to improvement now switched to fences; could have a big say.

12l third in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (2m4f) last April; back from chasing for 3m handicap hurdles on last two outings, always close up when second of 11 at Musselburgh (again good to soft) last time; up 2lb but, in this second season under rules, no shock if he has more to give.

12l third in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (2m4f) last April; back from chasing when creditable third of six off this mark at Doncaster five weeks ago on his step up to 3m; closely matched with runner-up Pyffo on that result and he could have more to offer as a stayer.

6 yo Mare

OR: 131

Form & Verdict
All of her races have been on soft ground; point/bumper winner who made it 2-3 over hurdles with handicap win at Aintree last December; creditable efforts in defeat in Graded novice hurdles the next twice (2m4f/3m) and there's every chance she'll be suited by fences; possible player.

Useful mare who completed the full jumps set with her commanding performance in Listed novice event at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft; second chase attempt) last month, adding to her point, bumper and hurdle wins; acts on soft; major contender even with 5lb penalty back against males.

Ran well in defeat in Graded novice hurdles on final two starts last season (2m4f/3m, soft) and reappeared with respectable third of three against males on chase debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in October; the return to a left-handed track could suit and she's one to consider.
