Form & Verdict
Good-ground 2m maiden hurdle winner a year ago and he's looked a work in progress since switching to fences last season; latest 5l fourth at Ascot (2m1f, good) returned to better ground was encouraging though and he's come a long way down the weights; needs to build on that and not of of this if doing so.

Cobblers Boy

11st 3lb

J: James Best

T: Sarah-Jayne Davies

C&D winner in May and respectable second over hurdles the following month, but he was well beaten back over fences at Hexham (raced freely) last month and subsequently left Dan Skelton's stable for £5,000; retains chase potential but others are more persuasive.

Cobblers Boy

11st 1lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Off the mark as a chaser at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, easily beating two rivals; raced too freely and succumbed to a stronger finisher when odds-on to follow up over hurdles there a week later but probably still has untapped potential over fences if he settles better here.

Form: PP6P2- D

W: 11st 4lb

8 yo Gelding

OR: 102

Form & Verdict
Back to near best on first start for this stable when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) with the hood back on; remains well treated on past form after 3lb rise and holds strong claims if able to repeat the effort.

Gower Prince

10st 2lb

J: Benjamin Macey

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

He's 4lb out of the handicap and all of his best form has come in chases, in which he's been running well since joining this yard; however, he has a lower mark to work with on his first hurdle start for this stable and it will be no surprise to see a good performance.

J: Benjamin Macey

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

8yo who has form figures of 221 for his new stable this year and that win was a dominant display at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) three weeks ago after a break; up 7lb but that was a personal best and he may have more to offer.
