Form & Verdict
Made his debut in a point last month but he didn't get very far after refusing at the first; now switches to rules but he has a few bumper winners on dam's side and he needs checking in market.

Dual bumper winner who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts, most recently when close second at Kelso (2m5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; ought to be right in the thick of things again here.

Dual bumper winner on good ground and encountered the same conditions for his two placed efforts over hurdles (2m/2m4f); RPRs leave with a fair bit to find with Jackson Lamb, though the addition of cheekpieces could help his jumping which hasn't been foot perfect; he was taken out of a soft-ground engagement.

Son of My Dream Boat went 2-2 in bumpers at Kelso and Market Rasen but he failed to land the odds on his hurdling debut when third of eight at Uttoxeter (2m) 33 days ago; he may still do better in this sphere so needs considering.
