Form & Verdict
His form has been a bit up and down over hurdles but he made it 2-8 in this sphere when making all on stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) four weeks ago; up 7lb but he justified favouritism with that comfortable success and that was after almost six months off; key player.

J: Paul O’Brien

T: Harry Derham

Prominent-racer who is unbeaten in three starts for Harry Derham (1m7f-2m1f, good-soft), most recently beating five rivals at Musselburgh in January; today is a much tougher test of his credentials but this 6yo C&D winner is clearly thriving and could continue to improve for his up-and-coming yard.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred 4yo who made it second-time lucky over hurdles when scoring at Bangor (2m, good) in May and she followed up on handicap debut at Uttoxeter four weeks ago; up 9lb but she knuckled down well to beat a dual subsequent winner last time and has plenty of scope for further more progress; interesting contender.

Back from a break with three wins in a row in September/October and he found more progress when creditable second behind a major improver at Aintree (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; up another 3lb but he could continue on the the upgrade and is strongly respected.
