Form & Verdict
Shaped encouragingly on his second hurdle start and ran creditably in a deeper maiden when sixth of 13 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January; despite top weight, he's worth a close look on handicap debut now back in trip, with Callum Pritchard's 3lb claim also a plus.

5lb higher than for his runaway win at Hereford (2m; handicap debut); fell early next time and then only fourth of the five runners at Worcester; probably needs his best yet here but it's still early days.

Not one to rely upon that heavily but scored off today's mark at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March and creditable third of 14 at Stratford (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; features prominently in calculations.

Dual hurdles winner who returned to form with a second at Warwick (2m, good) 26 days ago, and that was behind a major improver who has won seven in a row since the end of May; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can back that up.

Some promise on bumper debut; down the field in three novice and maiden hurdles, latterly at Ascot and Cheltenham, but his chance is much more obvious now handicapping off a modest mark over a trip that he's bred to stay.
