Form & Verdict
2023 hurdle/chase winner for Suzy Smith who produced some solid placed efforts earlier this year; withdrawn by the stewards at Plumpton on Sunday when found to have been administered electrolytes, but he's on a competitive mark and, with Freddie Gordon's 3lb claim, he's worth considering on debut for his in-form stable.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Chris Gordon

Three wins over fences this season and last two have been at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft); well-held second of four at Plumpton 19 days ago but that was behind an improver from the Nicholls yard; 10lb lower on this return to hurdling and he's an interesting contender in suitable conditions.

Mostly in very good form since joining this yard and under a positive ride he held on comfortably when back from a break at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), beating a reliable yardstick in the process; 4lb rise was fair; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
Easy winner on second chase start at Southwell (2m, good) in June and can be forgiven his odds-on defeat a few days later; back on song with a C&D second to Rocks Up Late last month; up 1lb and needs a bit of luck in running but he's still open to progress and commands respect.
