Often doesn't look the easiest ride and has proved a difficult sort in the past although he did turn in a more solid performance last time out. Only headed late on at Wincanton although his past record does make you a little wary of supporting him.
Based on his Flat form he's well handicapped and looked as though he could pick up a race like this. Disappointed at Chepstow last time out though and it may well be that he's just not going to progress further over hurdles.
Showed a lot of promise on his handicap debut here over 2m with the trip looking against him. Now steps up 5f in trip off a 2lb lower mark and looks a player here.
Still above her last winning mark and showed her best form last year over this trip and further when winning three on the bounce. Turned in a decent effort last time out but still looks as though she is running into form and could just do with a little respite from the handicapper.
Has shown some flashes of form in novices and looked as though he may progress in handicaps. Ran well on his first start in that sphere but took a regressive step last time out running in snatches and not jumping well.
His initial mark looks stiff enough and although he ran creditably last time out a late blunder didn't help and this looks a little tougher.
One of the more interesting sorts in this having shaped well on his debut at Ffos Las and he shaped as if he would be better for the run last time out. Now back from a fair absence he remains with potential as he heads into handicaps given his connections.
A non-runner at Kempton Park on Monday he comes here to make his handicap debut instead. His initial mark looks fair enough with the increased trip looking to be in his favour.
Looks an interesting contender based on his Hexham form for this yard where he travelled strongly and was only headed late on. Didn't really build on that last time out at Market Rasen (race not run to suit) and could be worth taking a look at again off the same mark.
Forecasts
Barrys Jack (5/2), Minella Style (3/1), Cousin Khee (7/1), As You Like (8/1), Magic Dancer (8/1), Kentford Heiress (10/1), I'm Still Waiting (14/1), Silent Encore (16/1), The Grinder (16/1)
There are a few that look likeable types in this that may well do better in time in handicaps with Minella Style very much being in that camp. Both Magic Dancer and Cousin Khee have had enough chances in this sphere and the trio of improvers in I’m Still Waiting, BARRYS JACK and As You Like may be the trio to concentrate on. The first-named was a non-runner at Kempton on Monday but has shaped as though handicapping will suite while Barrys Jack may well get a race that is more run to suit here than he did at Market Rasen. As You Like on his handicap debut is expected to do better but the market may well tell the story with this one.
