11st 0lb

J: Richie McLernon

T: Ben Haslam

Won three in a row on AW (1m2f/1m4f) in February and he was a creditable second when upped to 1m6f in a Redcar handicap (good to firm) last month; takes on two previous winners on this hurdling debut but he has some fair form on the Flat and he's not ruled out.

3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue.

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Ben Haslam

Tailed off in two turf races on good last July; firmly on the up in AW handicaps when last seen, registering a quickfire hat-trick in February and last two starts were at 1m4f (made all last time); absent since and this is a much more competitive contest for his return to turf.

Form & Verdict
Well held in four starts, failing to beat a rival on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) ten days ago; pedigree encouraging as regards the longer trip, but he still needs plenty of improvement.

J: Billy Garritty

Campaigned solely on AW so far; has thrived since stepped up to 1m4f, comfortably winning at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; a 5lb rise does not look harsh and he'll be thereabouts again if proving as effective on turf.

Progressive form since sent into handicaps this year, set a lot to do when a clear second of six to Forever Perfect over C&D six days ago; hood retained and tongue tied is also added; player off an unchanged mark.

9st 3lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

Has shown improvement since stepping up in trip, finishing second on his last two runs despite taking a keen hold, the latest over C&D last month; sports a first-time hood and if that helps him to settle then he holds strong claims.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Nicely bred but well beaten in all four starts over 1m on turf/Polytrack as a 2yo; returns from four months off having been gelded and improvement is needed, but this trip should suit much better on pedigree.
