Form & Verdict
Saw it out well to get off the mark over fences (C&D), beating Out On Her Own by 7l 18 days ago; a 5lb rise looks fair - competitive off similar marks over hurdles - so he'll be a live contender.

Major improver who made it 5-7 over fences when completing a five-timer over C&D (good) three weeks ago; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and this tough 7yo could continue on the upgrade; big player.

Form & Verdict
Made it 2-2 for Adam Nicol, winning easily over 2m here (good; Dream Jet 35l away in third) 18 days ago; the handicapper has taken another hit - 13lb higher - but it mightn't be enough to thwart the hat-trick bid; the only slight reservation being this 2m4f trip.

All four wins have been at Hexham and it was never in much doubt there three weeks ago (1m7f, good); hard to grumble with the 8lb rise but now has to continue his good work on a very different track, and he was a lot lower in the weights when second to Garde Des Champs in this 12 months ago.

Started off for Adam Nicol with two comfortable C&D wins last month (good to soft/good) and travelled strongly for a long way before failing to see out 2m4f here a fortnight ago; upped significantly in grade today but this drop back in trip is the obvious move, and he might still have more to offer for his new stable.

Overall record of 0-12 but she's unexposed over fences and went clear some way out before fading into a 9l fourth here (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could make a bold bid on this drop back in trip; hood removed.
