Form & Verdict

Claimed by the Pogsons after going close in selling handicap in May and is 2-2 for new stable; looked in particularly good nick when scoring comfortably by 7l at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) three weeks ago and it will be interesting to see how well she copes with recent 10lb hike.

Kept on well to win C&D (good) maiden in July, his third start over hurdles, and was placed behind Callin Baton Rouge on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; could still have a bigger run in him; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict

Placed in a Irish bumper in the spring; soundly beaten on first two hurdling starts for new stable this summer and probably flattered by proximity to principals in slowly run race at Newton Abbot a week ago but, nevertheless, he's open to improvement in handicaps; market may guide.
