His sole win was in a maiden hurdle last summer but he's dropped a long way down the weights and has finished a respectable fifth at Ayr (2m, good to soft) and Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in his two runs this autumn; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop in grade.

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Usually ridden by 5lb claimer William Maggs; came from last for a clearcut win at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) in May and did the same in 14-runner race at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago; also acts on soft; not all races pan out so favourably for those tactics but he needs plenty of respect. |

Came from off the pace for clearcut success at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) in May and has performed very respectably in races that weren't really run to suit since; can be dangerous if this race sets up more favourably for him. |

She's a 16-race maiden but she ran well when second here (2m4f, good to soft) last month off a career-low mark (behind comfortable winner Lihyan who is due to run in the 1:55); back up 1lb today; might not be far away. |

Runner-up in a bumper on his debut but he's not achieved much in his five hurdle runs (2m-2m4f) since May; got closer to the target at Kelso (2m2f, good) in September but was still only fifth of eight in that race and he needs to find more after another break.

Yet to win (0-9); placed without threatening at Musselburgh (2m4f) in December; returning from a six-month absence when weakening quickly at Perth (2m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last Sunday; will need to take a significant step forward from 6lb out of the handicap. |

Has overall record of 1-13 but his win came in this sphere and he's well treated on his best jumps form; returns after another short break but he was runner-up over fences (2m5f) on his penultimate run and is still unexposed at this sort of trip; dangerous.

Won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in June 2022 (2m, good); some fair efforts over fences and hurdles without winning since, last time finishing creditable fifth in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; cheekpieces tried); headgear retained; worth considering. |

Did not progress after winning maiden hurdle in June 2022 but gave pretty good account when close fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; drops back in trip with tongue-tie and cheekpieces both refitted; one to consider. |

Flat (soft) and dual hurdles winner (good), at up to 2m7f; on long losing run but she ran well for a long way over 3m here (soft) last month and was only beaten 8l in that race; could go well on this drop back in trip and she's not ruled out.

No win since November 2021 (2m7f, Market Rasen) and well beaten on her last start over hurdles at Musselburgh late last year; sole run this year came on AW at Newcastle (2m; sixth of eight, beaten 22l at 125-1); anything but convincing despite this lowly mark. |

Only 2lb higher than for his Bangor win (2m3f, good) in May but he has a mixed record since and was tailed off back on soft ground at Sedgefield last month; hurdle record now stands at 1-29 and he comes with risks attached.

Looked fortunate when scoring at Sedgefield (clear leader fell at last) last month but he battled well when following up at Newcastle (2m1f, good) two weeks ago; up 4lb but this step back up in trip is no problem and he should go well again in hat-trick bid. |

All four wins have been on good ground including two at at Kelso (2m5f/2m2f) in September; his last success was off 1lb higher but he's been well held back on slow ground in his last three runs and conditions could be an issue again here.
