Form & Verdict
Has won only once in 12 starts but is mostly consistent and was second in a Class 4 at Goodwood (1m6f) before a lesser effort at the same level at Sandown; his win was over a similar trip to this and he should be on the scene.

J: Josephine Gordon

He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence.

1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference.

Form & Verdict
Sole Flat win was in 2020 for Ralph Beckett; has since won three times over hurdles and did go close over 1m4f at Leicester this summer; below that level since but the ability is there should a first-time visor (on for cheekpieces) do anything.

No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player.

Quiet in novices but has come good in handicaps, scoring narrowly at about 1m3f on two visits to Windsor (good to firm/good); just 4lb higher than for the latest and might well improve again; this track will be a new experience, however.
