11st 2lb |
Represents a stable in fantastic form and made the expected improvement at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) eight days ago on handicap/seasonal debut, opening his account with a comfortable win; looks the type to progress further and rack up a sequence; strong chance under 7lb penalty. |

Five-race maiden; not disgraced in a couple of 3m handicaps here this season, while shaping as if this drop back in distance will suit; open to improvement and has possibilities.

Finished tired and was beaten about 22l when third over C&D (soft) on handicap debut in May; remains unexposed but subsequent 2lb drop is not enough to tempt on this first run for five months. |

Not much to recommend him at first glance on what he's achieved in qualifying runs but his dam was quite a useful staying chaser in Ireland (never ran over hurdles) and there must be a chance he'll fare better off this modest mark now handicapping with more of a test of stamina. |

Always towards rear in two 2m novice hurdles for new stable this winter but now makes her handicap debut from a lowly mark and is of interest if judged on her Irish bumper form (placed four times). |

Good-ground bumper winner who was runner-up in a Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in May but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; ran respectably in a Ffos Las handicap (fourth of ten) in August but he needs more back from a short break and this return to soft ground is a concern. |
