Form & Verdict
Unexposed 5yo; signs of ability in his second hurdle start and although unable to justify favouritism on handicap debut for new yard at Ayr (2m, good) he didn't run badly in defeat; not a certain stayer on pedigree upped in trip but likely to fare better with racing.

His first three races were for two other yards; ran in three handicaps for current stable, on second occasion coming home strongly from off the pace to win seven-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) despite some iffy jumping; however, he showed little at Taunton (2m3f, soft) one month ago; very mixed messages, therefore, despite the likely benefit on new trip.

Form & Verdict
Fair return from a break last month but he usually races over shorter trips than this and a well-held second to a progressive rival at Sedgefield (extended 2m3f) last November didn't confirm stamina for this far; may need further weight off his back, too.

Some of his best efforts have come over C&D, including a win, but he hasn't been at his best since winning over fences (soft) in January and his run here in October didn't augur well for today.

Inconsistent 10yo who was well beaten when back over fences in May (2m6f), then unsuited by the drop back to 2m on his most recent start at Newton Abbot last month when a well-held third of six; on a good mark if the mood takes him now back up to a more suitable test.

Often failed to finish last winter but he did win his final two completions (both over fences), the latest here (2m4f, heavy) in April; down the field back hurdling on return last month but now 5lb lower in a lesser grade; can figure if back to best.

Form & Verdict
Off since unseating in March but he'd won two of his three previous starts, on good and heavy ground, the latter when beating a stablemate over C&D; lack of a recent run no real hindrance as he's won after a much longer break than this one; looks to have more to come; solid chance.
