Form & Verdict

Ended last season with two disappointing hurdle runs for James Ewart but readily beat in-form rival to win over fences on stable debut at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago and remains well handicapped after a recent 8lb rise; good chance.

Rejuvenated by switch to new stable this summer and, having easily made the most of a good opportunity at Newton Abbot (2m, soft; also suited by good) last week, is now 3-3 for Dan Skelton; faces tougher task under 7lb penalty but still commands respect.

Hurdle/chase winner for Milton Harris in 2022 and returned from long absence with creditable third at Uttoxeter (2m, good) for new stable last month (challenging before last-fence mistake); still on a good mark; shortlisted.

Signed off for Milton Harris with good third at Southwell (2m, good) in March 2023 and makes stable debut from a 5lb lower mark; has fitness/wellbeing to prove today but market support will bring him into the equation.

Good effort at Southwell last month where he would have gone even closer but for a mistake two out; good ground ideal and, while he has quite a few miles on the clock, enters the argument.

Form & Verdict

0-6 over fences but finished second (demoted to third) under very positive ride at Cartmel (2m5f, soft; first-time visor) last month and, having dropped in trip, also ran well when fifth at Worcester (2m, good; lost three places on run-in after last-fence stumble) last week; tried in blinkers here; can make his presence felt.

0-6 over hurdles when owner-trained but not beaten that far when fifth of 13 at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in May and may be better suited by the quicker ground on today's stable/chase debut; interesting.

Didn't run badly when sixth of 14 here (2m5f, good) last month and continues to slip down the weights but he's now 0-13 under all codes and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal.

0-3 over fences and 0-12 overall but overcame some adversity when third (albeit well held) over C&D (good) last month and is another 4lb lower today; probably handles ground slower than good; could have a say.
