Form & Verdict
0-6 over hurdles and 0-5 on the Flat but his recent handicap fourths at Kempton (1m4f, AW) and Chepstow (1m2f, good) were very encouraging; moves up in trip today and may still have a bigger run in him; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
Doubled tally with ready win in basement-grade classified here (11.6f, good to firm) a week ago but that race was very slowly run and the second had a puny BHA rating of 25, so the form looks dubious; tries a new trip today.

2-36 with one of his wins coming here (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year, the other at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June; placed five times from six starts over C&D this year, but below form on soft the last twice; could do with the ground drying out, but considered if it does.

J: Luke Catton

T: Jim Boyle

Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter.

J: Charlie Bennett

Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though.

Form & Verdict
Scored off much reduced mark at Beverley (1m4f, good) last month and was very respectable second of four here (11.6f, good to firm) a week ago; still unexposed over this sort of trip on the Flat; respected.

Won on the Flat in May but was safely held on both hurdling starts this year (both in 2m handicaps in July) and reverts to this code after a very poor Flat run last month; stablemate Chillhi looks a safer option.

Form & Verdict
A recent trip to France for a claiming hurdle was unsuccessful but he ran well in defeat on latest Flat start, at Musselburgh (1m6f, good) last month; unraced on ground quicker than good but has possibilities if he copes with the conditions; swaps usual cheekpieces for refitted blinkers.
