Pretty useful in light Flat career for James Ferguson last term, before hurdling for new yard didn't really work out; last seen in January and had wind surgery soon after; tongue-tie returns and he has cheekpieces first time, probably needing to better last year's form.

J: Edward Greatrex

Placed in three AW maidens before a tongue-tie was added for novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) in August and he easily made all at 8-11; never-dangerous sixth of 14 on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f) was creditable in form terms but showed that marked improvement is needed; this is his first run since changing hands and leaving James Ferguson.

Placed in three AW maidens before a tongue-tie was added for six-runner novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) 13 days ago and he easily made all at 8-11; improvement is needed but there's a strong chance he will be suited by this longer trip.

Bolted up from the front in an Epsom novice (8.5f, good) last September but twice unplaced in handicaps, including on his reappearance at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) 13 days ago; should be better for that run, but more is needed.

Ran away with a novice at Epsom in September on third start, making all; 11-8 favourite for handicap debut at Redcar (again 1m2f on good) in November but went in snatches and finished only fourth; retains clear potential but he's nothing like as battle-hardened as most of these runners.

Well beaten on all three hurdling starts for new stable this year but displayed clear promise when third on both Flat runs last summer and may yet transfer some of that ability to this discipline; sports first-time cheekpieces for this handicap debut.

Failed to settle and stumbled/unbalanced when well beaten on debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; however, this half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Haskoy was sent off the 7-4 favourite and could be an entirely different proposition with the benefit of that initial experience.
