Useful middle-distance performer for James Ferguson; made a disappointing start over hurdles at Catterick but showed a lot more at Newbury (joint favourite), for all that he could have been flattered after holding a clear lead at one point; if ridden the same way then this sharper track should benefit.

Showed some useful middle-distance Flat form for James Ferguson but ran poorly (albeit on soft ground) on stable debut in October and was soundly beaten when switched to hurdles at Catterick last month; has a point to prove.

J: James Bowen

Tailed off on the Flat on last month's stable debut but was reportedly unsuited by the soft ground; useful Flat form previously, winning a maiden at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) in August, and he could have a big part to play if taking to hurdling at the first attempt.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Faye Bramley

Placed in three AW maidens before a tongue-tie was added for novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) in August and he easily made all at 8-11; never-dangerous sixth of 14 on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f) was creditable in form terms but showed that marked improvement is needed; this is his first run since changing hands and leaving James Ferguson.

J: Oisin Murphy

Placed in three AW maidens before a tongue-tie was added for six-runner novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) 13 days ago and he easily made all at 8-11; improvement is needed but there's a strong chance he will be suited by this longer trip.
