7/4 (Won)

  • Win: £2.50
  • Place: £1.30

Form: 39P21-

Last run: 200 days

W: 11st 12lb

7 yo Gelding

OR: 106

Form & Verdict

Lightly raced 7yo who justified favouritism when making all in a maiden hurdle win at Warwick (2m3f, good) in his final run last season; returns from 200 days off but he should have a future over fences and is respected for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict

Scored over fences (2m2f, heavy) in France last June but has mixed record in four runs for current yard and was tailed off at Stratford (15-8 favourite) in his final run last season; comes with risks attached after 245 days off and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict

Only 1lb higher than when winning over fences at Pumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in January but this veteran returns after 219 days off and he has form figures of 7P0684 at this sort of trip; has work to do in new headgear for new yard.

11yo who won for Paul Henderson at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in January and is now 2lb lower; reappeared with fair third of six on recent stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft); second in this race last year and he's an each-way contender now back down in trip.

Not easy to win with (3-36), but is just 1lb higher than when winning at Pumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in January; should appreciate the return to fences and not ruled out entirely.

Form & Verdict

Has won five of his last nine starts and he made it 7-22 over fences when completing a double at Hereford (2m5f, good to firm) last month; all of his wins have been good/good to firm but he still looks on a workable mark and is a big player again if conditions are in his favour.

Form & Verdict

Won a hurdle handicap at Taunton (3m, good) in March but he's been disappointing in both runs since; still lightly raced but he's been hard to predict so far and needs to get back on track on this switch to fences.
