Good-ground 2m4f hurdle and chase winner off low-70s marks in the summer; beaten favourite all three runs since, including when weakening switched to front-running over this trip in a Hereford hurdle latest, but this looks a thinner contest.

Returns 4lb higher following April's Taunton chase success (2m6f, soft); bit to take on trust (can bleed), but went close on his seasonal debut last term and enjoys racing prominently around flat tracks.

Seems best when able to race prominently; returned to form with his thirds here (2m2f) and at Wincanton (2m4f, both on good) in February/March but he's been pulled up in last two runs and was reported to have bled from the nose last time; 0-15 overall and others are more convincing. |

10st 6lb |
Seems best when able to race prominently; back in good form with recent thirds at Taunton (2m2f, good) and Wincanton (2m4f, good) but ran no race at Taunton last week and has stamina to prove here. |

OR: 98
Promising fourth on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft), when making mistakes, and she built on that to win nicely at Leicester (2m6f, good to soft) yesterday; on the limited evidence to date she's more convincing going right-handed but is nevertheless respected under a 7lb penalty.

Didn't build on the promise of his bumper debut, and it's been diminishing returns from him over hurdles more recently (beaten 62l over 2m4f latest); no chances taken with mark on this handicap/chasing debut.

Belied 33-1 odds when third in run-of-the-mill Stratford maiden (2m6f, good) on hurdling debut in May but was only fourth best on merit that day was soundly beaten at Fontwell last month. |

0-13 under rules having never hit the heights for Harry Whittington or Charlie Longsdon, but 26lb lower now than when first sent chasing and ran away with a maiden point in April (good to soft); interesting.

Made it 0-14 under rules when an early faller at Fakenham last Tuesday; however, he's operating off a much-reduced mark and showed spark when winning a point in April; possible contender. |
