Won on his chase debut at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in March and bounced back from lesser run on final start for Lucinda Russell when scoring at Carlisle (2m, soft) last month on first outing for Jimmy Moffatt; this unexposed 6yo is open to further improvement and is firmly in calculations.

11st 10lb |
Down the field at Ayr (2m, good to soft) in April and sold out of Lucinda Russell's yard for £22,000 in May; however, two starts ago this very lightly raced 6yo won on his chase and handicap debut at Newcastle (2m, heavy) and his new trainer often does well with recruits from other yards. |

10st 10lb |
Very lightly 6yo who improved upon his hurdle form to win on last month's handicap/chase debut at Newcastle (2m, heavy); tackles different ground today and he beat only three rivals last time, but it looked a solid little race and he's in excellent hands to continue to progress. |

9yo who is lightly raced for his age and returned from a long absence with a promising second here (2m4f, soft) on last month's stable debut; could be thereabouts if avoiding the dreaded bounce on his second start back.

Missed last year but has shown he retains much of his ability for his new trainer; the return to this much longer trip looks sure to suit and he's an interesting runner. |

0-8 over hurdles but showed ability and this point winner could relish the switch to fences; has the benefit of a recent run (fair fifth over hurdles) and he's on the shortlist on chase debut.

0-8 over hurdles but he did win a point and ran okay when beaten 10l on his chase debut (1m7f, heavy); less taxing conditions here are probably in his favour. |

Point winner; placed in three of his seven starts over hurdles, beaten a neck into second at Newcastle in May when last seen (2m1f, good; handles soft); should make a bold bid on his return. |

Well beaten over hurdles at Ayr (2m, soft) in February but prior to that he made a winning handicap debut there (2m, heavy); finished third in an Irish point and this lightly raced 6yo retains potential now chasing.

Steady improvement over hurdles, including C&D form with Thistle Ask and Shir I Dont Know, before raising his game to a whole new level when making all to score on handicap debut over C&D (5-2 favourite) three weeks ago; big player despite a 10lb higher mark. |

Admirably consistent over hurdles last season and he won here twice in that discipline (2m, good to soft/soft); not bred for fences but he's entitled to respect on this chase debut given his liking for Hexham.

Won maiden hurdle at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) last December and fair second in Huntingdon novice hurdle (2m4f, soft) in April when last seen; connections waste little time in switching this very lightly raced 6yo to fences and her top trainer has a fine 34% strike-rate here; considered.
