Form & Verdict

Unexposed 5yo who improved to win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on handicap hurdle debut in March; absent since a lesser run the following month but still looks an interesting prospect for fences; had wind op in May.

Form & Verdict

Won over hurdles at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) last October and he was stalking the leader when falling three out at Fakenham (2m7f) in his final run last year; now goes chasing after a lengthy absence but he's only 1lb higher than for his win and he seems versatile trip-wise; one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict

Failed to place in his six runs over hurdles for Mitchell Hunt, though was a 10l fourth of 13 at Ascot in the penultimate one (2m7f, good; did run well over 2m3f the once); runner-up in both his points and he should make a chaser.

Form & Verdict

Had modest strike-rate over hurdles and failed to complete his first two chases but he's reached the frame at Southwell (2m4f, good) and Stratford (2m3f, soft) in last two runs; his latest fourth was behind Bridget Mary but he was turned out quickly for that solid effort and he's respected.
