Form & Verdict
Flat wins for David O'Meara were gained on dry surfaces around Redcar's 1m6f (peak RPR of 82) and Musselburgh's 2m circuits, so boxes all appear ticked as regards track, ground and stamina ahead of this switch to hurdling; did need his first run back from a comparable break last spring.

Fair Flat racer who battled well to pip Don Virginia in small field at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; ought to run his race again but others have more compelling form.

Won two handicaps (1m6f/2m) on the Flat last season and he's done well switched to hurdling for new yard since May including a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good); still has potential as a stayer on the Flat and he's in the mix back in this sphere.

Gently diminishing returns last year after a fair Worcester bumper fourth (2m, good), shaping as if needing a fair bit further than the 2m3.5f of September's Fontwell hurdling debut; more required on return.

Only minor promise on one bumper start, and less still on either hurdles start at the end of last year, not travelling well; has left Nicky Henderson and have to hope fresh surroundings awaken something in him.

Last year's Fakenham bumper third (2m, good) increasingly appears an outlier form-wise, and hurdling efforts to date haven't hinted at a need to step up to today's sort of trip.
