T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Unexposed 5yo who won under owner-jockey Amber Jackson-Fennell on hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in March; below that form over 2m5f in April (raced too freely) but remains open to improvement on this handicap debut.

J: Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Won a point bumper and followed up in a small field on fast ground at Exeter last March; well held in his final bumper but he returned for new yard with a win on hurdling debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month; needs to improve on that form but he landed a gamble in that race and was strong at the finish; in the mix upped in trip.

Form & Verdict
Came good in points at fourth attempt, with 12l success in soft-ground Kingston Blount maiden last month, and his Flat pedigree suggests this type of race should also suit him; respected.

Flat-bred 5yo who won soft-ground maiden point at Kingston Blount by 12l in February and was close second of four behind Amatchmadeinheaven on rules debut at Exeter (good to firm) the following month; better off at the weights with that rival here; no surprise if he features.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Easily beat two rivals in maiden point at Badbury Rings (2m4f, good to firm) in November but it's very tricky to gauge what that form is worth; others appeal more.
