Form & Verdict
Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March; on a tempting mark now but his tendency to race far too freely remains a worry, and others are much less risky.

Quirky customer who sometimes races far too freely, but got career back on track with two come-from-behind wins (both 2m, good; soft also suits) under Beau Morgan this spring; probably still on a good mark if all goes to plan.

Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March but a return to very patient tactics paid dividends at Bangor (2m, good) last month, where he cut through the field to cause a 33-1 surprise; his tendency to race too freely remains a concern but a recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable.

Winning hurdler in Ireland and runner-up over hurdles on final run for the Twiston-Davies yard; back over fences (0-4) in two runs for Dan Skelton and didn't see either race out with much purpose (2m/2m1f), and those were after a wind operation; reservations for now and returning to further isn't an obvious positive.

Signed off for Twiston-Davies stable with creditable second behind a next-time-out winner over hurdles in May, having made the running in first-time cheekpieces; last throughout on stable debut without headgear in four-runner Newton Abbot chase this month but the cheekpieces are back on here and it will be interesting to see whether connections revert to more positive tactics.

Has won at this trip but last four runs have been over further and he hasn't kicked on from his Musselburgh win in January (2m4f, good to soft; 3lb lower); probably has little margin for error mark-wise and unlikely the same is true about some of his rivals.
