Capitalised on the drop back in trip to win at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) in February and followed up at Kempton (2m2f, good); he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race, but did it very nicely and this 6yo novice is now 3-6 over fences; could still have more to offer and he's respected.

Won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October; creditable efforts in defeats in strong novice handicaps on next three starts before resuming winning ways in a small field at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; 7lb higher in a more competitive race now but further progress can't be ruled out with this yard.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 6yo who was effective on testing ground in France and won over hurdles at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February; she's struggled on both starts this season, most recently her chase debut, but the drop back in trip could help and she's not written off.

Last month's keeping-on second at Bangor (2m1f, good to soft) came in just a run-of-the-mill handicap and she's now 0-4 over fences but she's unexposed over this sort of trip and may still have a bigger run in her; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft.

Winning hurdler; has got closer in each of her three runs over fences, last time beaten 5.5l at Warwick (2m, good to soft); could well have more to offer.

Well beaten on chasing debut in January and probably didn't achieve a great deal when second of three behind short-odds winner at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; remains lightly raced but needs improvement here.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 11th attempt over fences at Taunton (2m, good) in January, and he's run well on testing ground in the past; below par on his last two starts but drops back in grade today and could give a good account.

J: Richie McLernon

T: Neil Mulholland

Free-goer who often makes the running and ultimately paid for giving chase to an improving winner when behind Garde Des Champs here a month ago; ran better behind the same winner the time before when he finished ahead of the Russell/Scudamore runner; a soft lead would help matters.

Free-goer who often makes the running; well beaten when last of three on debut for Neil Mulholland in April but last month's third of seven behind Newtown Rambler over C&D (good to soft) was more encouraging, and he may yet have more to offer for his new stable.

Won a novice handicap chase at Taunton (2m, good) for Joe Tickle in January and fair third over same C&D next time; changed yards last month having had a wind op, and was a well-beaten third of three at Chepstow on stable debut (2m, good); hung right there so this track should suit better.
