Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives.

The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer.

Tailed off in Newton Abbot bumper last September and returns to racing under rules after well-held second in two-finisher point last month; look elsewhere.

10,000euros 3yo; first foal out of an unraced half-sister to winners Chocca Wocca (bumper/2m1f hurdle), As I See It (2m7f/3m1f hurdle) and Trull La La (2m3f hurdle); rare bumper runner for the yard but pedigree is encouraging.

Keep Off The Sugar

11st 4lb

J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Jimmy Frost

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.
