12st 0lb

J: Alex Chadwick

T: James Owen

Won a similar handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in March and made another bold bid when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; only just caught in that race and he's 4lb well in off the same mark here; strongly respected.

He only beat two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) and the 6lb rise appeared to find him out when behind Midnight View at Warwick; he's back down 2lb but they did claim 3lb off his back last time.

He's raced four times and hasn't posed a serious threat, but he kept on when seventh of 15 at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month and could appreciate this step up in trip; not ruled out each-way in first-time hood.

Won in a small field off 3lb higher at Huntingdon last May (2m3f) but mostly struggled afterwards in cheekpieces and latterly in a visor; clearly a form contender if he's all the better for a wind operation.

Three-time hurdle winner on good ground; arguably ran better than eventual 48l defeat suggests when third at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last month, after a layoff, and has become well handicapped; could have a say if that recent outing brought him on.

Mostly disappointing since finishing second in a bumper last spring, weakening quickly and pulled up in both handicap hurdles in recent months; too soon to write off but switches to fences with something to prove; a first-time hood and tongue-tie combination is also added.
