Won at Chester (2m, good) last month and nearly caught The Crafty Mole (who was perhaps idling) at Ripon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; also effective over this C&D and he's in the mix.

Soon in a clear lead and perhaps stole a four-runner race at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, belatedly opening his account; however, the 10l runner-up has franked the form by scoring since; double looks possible, provided everything again goes his way.

20-race maiden on the Flat; ran a couple of fair races over 1m4f/2m at Musselburgh last summer, but his form tailed off after that; lacks a recent run.

Fairly treated on some of his form in the summer including here, but is now 0-18 under rules and probably needs further than this in any case; hood given a go.

Form & Verdict
Posted a third AW win when prevailing narrowly off 3lb lower at Newcastle (2m); 0-15 on turf but he's fine on this surface and will race prominently in this small field.

In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance.

Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable.

Winning hurdler for Joseph O'Brien and competitive in that scene for her current yard; hard to know what she achieved in 1m4f novice on the AW last time but now makes handicap debut on the Flat.

Hurdle winner (good) when trained by Joseph O'Brien; comfortably held in all starts since joining this trainer, the last three in this code (12.5f-1m7f); takes another slight drop in grade so may get more competitive.

Good-ground maiden hurdle winner who is lightly raced on the Flat, but she was a 6l last of four here (1m7f, good to firm) in May on her handicap debut in this code and improvement is needed on this first run since.
