Silent Revolution

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Paul Nicholls

Useful hurdler when on song but made jumping errors and looked very unconvincing in all three chases; easily brushed aside by Hidalgo De L'Isle when second of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and needs to get his act together over fences.

Form & Verdict

Three wins over hurdles, one at this track (2m1f, heavy) last September; her last success was at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in April; disappointing favourite at Worcester (2m4f, good) 19 days ago but this drop in grade and first-time cheekpieces should see her go close, at the least.

A three-time 2m/2m4f scorer last term and she made an encouraging return from three months off when sixth of 15 in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle 47 days ago, going well for a long way; that form has been franked so she's a big player eased 1lb here.

Form & Verdict

Won on soft ground at this track (2m1f) last October; best effort when winning at Worcester (2m, good) in July; his form has dipped since in a couple of runs over hurdles and one on the Flat but he should do better down in this grade.

Got off the mark at the 13th attempt in a Fakenham novices' handicap in April (2m4f, good) for previous yard, winning going away; had one more start for that stable before switching to this one, for whom he ran flat at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in June; more needed.

J: Jack Tudor

T: John & Rhys Flint

Made the most of a drop in the weights when making it 16th-time lucky at Fakenham (good) in April and ran to a similar level off a 6lb rise when fourth there last month on final start for Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole; probably needs more for the win off the same mark here but respected starting out for a new yard having been recently bought for £2,500.

Her sole success came over C&D (good) in May last year; returns to hurdles after a couple of runs over fences but has been out of sorts in three runs in this sphere this year; blinkers are back replacing cheekpieces; acts on soft ground; 9lb out of the handicap.

Verdict

The presence of Silent Revolution keeps five of these out of the weights and at his best he would win with his head in his chest. He rates the main danger to Dan Skelton’s PRESENTING NELLY who boasts a heavy-ground win here and tries cheekpieces on this drop in grade after disappointing last time. Afta Party has also won here on soft ground and can make his presence felt. [Andrew Bladen]
