5 yo Colt

OR: 91

Form & Verdict
All of his turf runs have been on good or slower; tailed off back on the Flat last month but he won a C&D handicap (good) in May and he slipped up in race won by Cracking Destiny here the following month; still unexposed over fences and he could be a big factor back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
7lb lower than when winning over hurdles here (2m, good) last summer, but that's his only success in 29 starts under rules and he's not achieved much in three runs over fences; headgear returns but opposable back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
12yo who recorded his eighth win over fences when scoring over C&D (good) in June; that was an incident-packed race but he rallied well to beat a clear second and a 2lb rise for that success looks fair; key player.

12yo; won at Hexham (2m4f, good) in June and third there in August (2m4f, good); mistakes may have been costly when tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good) latest and he's not written off, but others are more compelling.

Form & Verdict
Triple hurdle winner at around 2m but last success was 17 months ago and he was a remote second on chase debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good; 25-1) last month; looks worth another try at this trip but he needs to leave that latest form behind.
