Form & Verdict

Capitalised upon some help from the handicapper when winning over 2m here (good) last month and is also very effective over 2m4f; probably would have preferred a stronger pace when fifth of six here (2m, good) ten days ago; unlikely to be far away.

Form & Verdict

Opened hurdling account at sixth attempt, drawing clear by 13l over C&D (good) ten days ago; went up 10lb for that but has plenty of scope for further improvement; obvious contender.

Form & Verdict

Always towards rear on stable/handicap debut in May but rewarded good market support when cruising clear to win easily over C&D (good) three weeks ago and could easily have a lot more to offer.

Form & Verdict

Very well handicapped on older form but finished about 11l behind Malangen after making the running here (2m, good) three weeks ago and needs a better performance today; the longer trip won't be a problem, though.

Form & Verdict

Won by 8l on hurdle debut in November 2020 but lightly raced and disappointing since; pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) when last seen in December; considered only if lively in the betting here.
