Won over hurdles here in October 2024 and returned from seven-month break with wide-margin C&D (good) success on chasing debut last May; absent for another 13 months since and now 13lb higher but remains unexposed over fences and can evidently go well when fresh.

In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers.

Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; needs improvement over this new trip.

Low-mileage 7yo who tends to race too freely but displayed considerable improvement when upped to 3m and switched to fences at Bangor (good) in April, winning by 5l; beaten about 21l when second over C&D last month but gave the all-the-way winner far too much rope that day, and his margin of defeat was magnified by late jumping errors; remains of strong interest.

Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April and also has a C&D success on his CV but was unable to land a telling blow on his two starts at Hexham last month and needs to kick on again to overcome current mark.
AI verdict
SR 74 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but ran poorly when dropped back to 2m last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on first attempt at 3m under rules.

0-14 over hurdles; excelled herself when fourth at huge odds in 2m3f Fontwell maiden in April but, having been hiked up the weights, was soundly beaten in both subsequent handicaps (2m5f/2m7f).

Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but struggled in first two handicaps (2m/2m3f; cheekpieces added last time); upped in trip again for first run since December; considered only if lively in the betting.

Out of form (mainly over fences) since returning from long absence in January (had wind op before latest run); swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor and has tongue-tie refitted; revival needed.

Veteran who was in good form in the early part of last season and gained a narrow C&D (good) win on latest outing in October; only 3lb higher today but has fitness to prove and younger rivals appeal more.
