Useful in his younger days when with William Haggas and very nearly ended his losing run when failing by a nose to catch an in-form rival in a 0-105 handicap at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) on Wednesday; anything like that form would give him major claims if turning out again; non-runner.
0-6 on turf but proving consistent on Tapeta (721213); appeared to be held off this mark when third of eight at Newcastle (1m2f) 13 days ago, but still commands respect under Simon Walker.
Only success since last winning on the Flat in September 2021 came over hurdles last summer; finished around 9l behind Wiltshire Wonder here (1m4f) five weeks ago; plenty more needed.
Two course wins (1m4f) late last year, but was very disappointing here a week ago; cheekpieces are now given a go and he would have to be considered if returning to his earlier form under Brodie Hampson; non-runner.
1-10 on the Flat for Andrew Balding but won twice over hurdles for this yard last year; just a fair effort in one previous go on Tapeta and not quite sure what to expect.
Fair sort over hurdles on his day (RPR 118), though not at his best lately; 1-3 on Polytrack so not easily dismissed if taking to Tapeta; each-way possibilities.
Dual winner at Dundalk for Henry de Bromhead (10.7f/1m4f), but well beaten over 2m there last time; makes her debut for her new yard having changed hands for 1,200 last month; market should be revealing.
Completed a hat-trick in the autumn, the middle leg of which came here (1m4f); beaten just over a length into third of ten over the same trip last month (runner-up has won since); races off the same mark and application of cheekpieces may eke out a bit more improvement; respected.
Dual C&D winner who has been successful in five of his last 11 starts, the latest by a head at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; only 2lb higher and shouldn't have a problem with dropping back in trip; respected.
Doesn't win very often these days, though he did get it right at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) earlier in month; held off this mark back there on Tuesday and will need more in order to take this.
