Form & Verdict

Won on rules debut here (2m4f, good) last June and soft ground may have been against him in Market Rasen novice in November; has has wind op since; placed in points and he's a possible improver now switched to fences for his handicap debut; interesting.

Form & Verdict

Ran well in defeat for Warren Greatrex last spring in his first two handicap hurdles (2m4f/3m, heavy/good); absent since (wind op in interim) but returns with new stable in fantastic form (remains in same ownership) and this point runner-up could improve now chasing.

Form & Verdict

Won at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January and made it 2-4 over fences at Doncaster (2m4f, good) last month; he could do with jumping better but is open to further improvement in this sphere, and there's stamina in his pedigree so this new trip could suit; in calculations.
