Form & Verdict
Dual Flat winner (AW and turf; 1m1f-1m4f) but form slumped after a promising start for this stable; however, he produced a much-improved effort when runner-up at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last month on his fourth hurdle start and a repeat of that performance would give him leading claims.

J: Isobelle Chalmers

T: Mickey Bowen

Dual Flat winner for Ollie Sangster, including at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last May; has mostly been hurdling for this yard and he's been getting better in that sphere, a June win followed by solid second the following month; last two Flat starts for this stable will need improving on, however, and soft ground generates a query.

Converted a realistic opportunity at Newton Abbot latest (2m6f, good) for a first hurdling win in five tries; penalty demands more, but a tidier round of jumping than any to date could unlock further improvement.

Form & Verdict
Fair pointer with a 6-15 record (2m4f-3m, good to soft-good to firm: tongue-tied for five) for Bradley Gibbs; arrives on the back of a victory in a small-field mixed open when a short-priced favourite and looks the type to make an impact in this sphere; respected on hurdle/stable debut.

Made an encouraging start on bumper debut last March, but has gone backwards since and was tailed off on all three subsequent starts; offered little on last month's hurdling debut here (2m1f) after a break, and this longer trip needs to spark a major turnaround.

Three-time Flat winner who has also shown promise over hurdles; well beaten in this code last May and bought out of Denis Hogan's yard for £17,000 later that month; absent since but he's one of the likelier winners if at the top of his game on this comeback and stable debut; watch the betting.
