Form & Verdict
One of his two bumper wins was here; disappointed in his second run over hurdles, but chased home the smart Mydaddypaddy in the first and readily justified favouritism last month at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); a scopey individual with more to offer.

Dual bumper winner; lacked the gears to mix it with top 2m novices earlier in the season but, raised in distance, he wasn't overly troubled to win minor races at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) and Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy); mixed messages on pedigree as to whether this far will be a help or a hindrance, but can't be dismissed.

J: Sean Bowen

Dual bumper winner who chased home Dan Skelton's highly regarded Mydaddypaddy on seasonal/hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November; below that form when midfield in good Newbury maiden (2m, soft) later that month but moves up in trip here and remains of strong interest.

Runner-up in one of her four bumpers but was tailed off in a maiden hurdle and her Flat form is uninspiring.

Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles when justifying support at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; up 7lb but that was an emphatic success and she's open to more progress; big player.

Gradual improvement over hurdles, twice hitting the frame at Ludlow (2m5f-3m), getting to within 3l of Son Of Tyran (beaten by Brionywells since) last month; slightly more needed to make the breakthrough from this 1lb higher mark.

Maiden under both codes; seemed to appreciate the return to good ground here 18 days ago (2m5f) and having the visor back on was no bad thing; needs a bit more off the same mark but hard to dismiss.
