Won a Hereford bumper on debut in November (2m, good); good third in a strong Warwick maiden on hurdles debut (2m3f, soft); should improve but this marked step up in trip is not sure to be ideal.

Form & Verdict

Irish point winner last April; creditable third on first two hurdles starts (2m3f, good to soft/2m4f, soft) before being pulled up in a good novice handicap at Ascot last time; conditions should suit and fair chance in first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict

Pulled up over fences last time when tried in a visor; has shown plenty of promise over hurdles, including when third in a Kelso handicap two runs back (3m2f, soft); thorough stayer who will be suited by the conditions; cheekpieces back on; each-way chance.

Lightly raced; well-beaten third on his chase debut at Kelso last month (2m7f) but then stayed on well for the same placing on his return there over hurdles (both runs in cheekpieces); looks a thorough stayer who might be helped by the new visor, but lack of chasing experience is a concern.

Some promise in bumpers but has toiled in all four starts over hurdles, regularly pulling up; switches to handicaps from a lowly mark on much better ground which offers scope for optimism; it's impossible to have confidence though unless the market speaks favourably.

Easy Irish maiden point win in April; fell three out on rules debut but much better when he returned to Wetherby (2m3f, soft) at 28-1 three weeks ago, making the early running and weakening on the run-in for third of 15 behind a useful chaser; that's a lot more than most of these have shown.
