Collected three-runner race in pretty good style at Catterick last month; raced awkwardly in closing stages and weakened out of contention when warm favourite at Carlisle (also 1m6f, good) a fortnight later but recent 2lb drop is a plus and he remains one to be interested in.

led narrowly, headed but prominent from over 7f out, pushed along and edged right from over 2f out, soon up the centre and disputed lead, ridden and lost position 2f out, weakened from over 1f out (trainer's rep could offer no explanation for the poor form shown; vet said a post-race examination revealed no abnormalities) |

9st 4lb |
Began the season with two heavy defeats but he bounced back to form when scoring at Redcar a fortnight ago (1m6f, good to firm; cheekpieces back on); consistency hasn't been his strong suit so no guarantee he'll be in the same form; non-runner at Thirsk yesterday. |

Won juvenile hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) last November and best subsequent effort when beaten just over 8l into third behind Caldwell over C&D (good to soft) in March; now 12lb better off, but seems to have lost his way on the Flat lately so has a bit to prove on return to hurdles. |

Won a juvenile hurdle last November but he's 0-9 on the Flat and has been a long way below form at Hamilton (1m4f) and Ayr (1m5f, first run after wind surgery) in last two starts; has plenty to prove on this drop back in trip and he's untried on Tapeta. |

Lightly raced 4yo who makes his second start for an in-form yard; however, he was well beaten on his recent handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and is 7lb wrong at the weights this afternoon; the first-time cheekpieces need to prompt considerable improvement. |

Fair soft-ground Flat winner who's now translated that form to hurdles, winning at Ludlow (3m, good) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) on two of his three starts for new yard; raised another 10lb but he drew well clear on the run-in last time and could have more to offer. |

Drew nicely clear to score on stable debut at Ludlow (3m, good) in November and was a long way clear of the third when second at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) nine days ago; back in action before another 5lb rise takes effect and should be okay on today's slower ground; obvious contender. |
