Gained a first win in this sphere in five-runner handicap at Fakenham (2m) when last seen in January; up 3lb but has gone well fresh, so not ruled out after a break.

Improved for the switch to 2m good-ground handicaps, looking well placed to defy a 9lb hike for his earlier Stratford success when unseating at the last at Plumpton latest; up 1lb more but case is obvious.

On the up since sent into handicaps and he readily landed 11-runner event at Stratford (2m) 22 days ago, forging clear from final flight; hiked up 9lb but still merits serious consideration.

Form & Verdict
Now 0-11 but has made the frame in handicaps and had a break since her last run which was too bad to be true; however, she may need further and drier ground.

1-16 over hurdles, having gained a hard-fought course win (2m6f, good) in May; evidently well suited by this track but will need to find hidden reserves to overcome a 4lb higher mark on this chasing debut.

Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call.

Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner and added a Uttoxeter handicap last May (2m, good); placed in a Class 4 last time at Wincanton (good to soft) so a likely contender at this level; tongue-tie is added.

AW Flat winner; only win in 14 runs over hurdles was off this mark over C&D last May (good) when wearing a hood for the first time (as well as cheekpieces); hasn't done quite as well since, with today's combination of headgear the last twice.

Longstanding maiden but has run some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances (new yard on last two starts); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so looks sure to be heavily involved.

Yet to win over hurdles (0-11) but shaped better than the bare form suggests when a rallying third at Stratford (2m, good; hood discarded) 11 days ago on second start for the stable and may have more to offer; worth considering with Theo Gillard back in the saddle.
