Three-time course winner, including one over C&D; runner-up to a progressive rival at Southwell (1m6f) on her stable debut in March and was a bit better than the bare result here over 1m4f 17 days ago having been short of room at a crucial stage; back up in trip.

0-11 (hurdles/Flat); well held at Lingfield (1m5f, good) on her debut for this yard last August and it was the same story in four starts over hurdles; pulled up at Fakenham when last seen 138 days ago and others are preferred.

0-17 and he blows hot and cold but there have been some good runs in defeat on AW this year; finished behind Havachoc at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and may do so again.

Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning at Bangor last April and he was placed there on his next start; disappointing at Aintree when last seen 357 days ago and he's best watched on his return to this sphere.

Pulled up over hurdles on his first start for this stable and he's failed to beat a rival home in each of his three starts on the Flat; best watched.

Dual course winner last spring who was well fancied over C&D on Friday, only to overrace in a messy affair; needs considering under Oisin Murphy, who's taking a first ride for the trainer (always to be respected with runners here).
