Form & Verdict

Well beaten on last month's Newbury debut but improved to win four-runner C&D (soft) contest by 10l a fortnight ago; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth and he now has a penalty to shoulder, but he still warrants serious consideration.

Two-time bumper winner who won maiden hurdle at Hexham (2m7f, good) in May and followed up on handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) last month; the clear runner-up has franked that latest form and a 6lb rise may not stop this unexposed 6yo, who is a half-brother to useful stayer Potterman.

Form & Verdict

Out of an unraced half-sister to top-class staying chaser Suny Bay; built upon promising Irish point debut to win by 12l on yielding to soft ground in April and was bought for £120,000 soon afterwards; needs to be taken very seriously on this rules debut.

Irish point winner who has finished in the frame in two bumpers and four hurdles, including on March's handicap debut at Hexham (2m7f) when appearing not to last home on testing ground; bettered that over 2m4f since, shaping as though she'd be worth another go at this distance given a sounder surface; interesting off 2lb lower.

Third foal from a fairly useful Flat stayer; has very plausible pedigree for a race of this nature but stable has modest bumper strike-rate.
