J: Fern O’Brien

T: Fergal O’Brien

Changed stables earlier in the season and has won twice since, both at Worcester (2m, good); not at the top of his game when fourth at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago but he was ridden more patiently than usual and is better than that; could be a contender.

Prevailed in three-way photo-finish (that also involved Al Mootamarid) to win over C&D (good) on stable debut in July and added to his tally in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; might be a shade vulnerable after latest 4lb rise but can given another good account.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden hurdle and competitive in handicaps for former yard; after £22,000 sale and wind surgery, he made a winning chase debut at Uttoxeter in July (solid form for the level); made mistakes but might still have finished second had he not been brought down last time; every chance on this return to hurdling; fine from 2m to 3m.

Maiden hurdle winner and competitive in handicaps for his previous yard, which he left for £22,000 and then underwent wind surgery; built for fences so no great surprise to see him justify favouritism at Uttoxter four weeks ago (2m4f, good); beat an in-form horse and would have done so more easily but for one notable mistake; big chance despite being raised 9lb.

He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence.
