Form & Verdict

Spent a long time in the doldrums but nearly bounced back when narrowly beaten (by a subsequent winner) at Worcester in May; only 1lb higher and repeat of that puts him firmly on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict

Wasn't in much form over hurdles earlier this year but proved a different proposition (in a tongue-strap for first time) when making successful C&D chasing debut last month; that wasn't a great contest (four ran) but he appeared to have something in hand and 3lb rise is fair; strong claims again.

Form & Verdict

The winner of four points and a hunter chase and has finished second in two handicaps this summer, the latest at Newton Abbot (in blinkers for first time): solid contender but may need a shade more off 4lb higher.

Form & Verdict

Two hurdle wins but well held in both chasing attempts, the latest behind Aviewtosea over C&D last month; subsequent wind surgery is the hope as he tries to overturn those placings.
