Failed to win in six starts on the Flat including twice in handicap company in 2017 having been gelded last autumn. Yard does very well with its three-year-old hurdlers and likely to prove hard to beat in this.
Failed to win in five starts for previous stable at up to 1m6f. Latest run came when 19L sixth of seven in first time cheekpieces and market likely to provide the best guide of expectations on hurdling debut for new yard.
Finished third off a mark of 56 in a 1m4f handicap at Kempton in February three starts back. Well held on debut for this yard at Chepstow in a first time tongue tie (retained) and represents a stable with a 32% strike-rate recently (9/28).
Limited signs of ability in five starts on the Flat at up to 1m. Well held over that distance at Redcar (good-to-firm) last month and probably best watched here.
Finished well beaten in seven starts on the Flat including on the AW at Southwell when beaten 31L over 7f last month. Probbaly best watched here.

CITY DREAMER has run to a fair level on the Flat and represents a stable with a 35% strike-rate lately. The selection can get the better of the Dan Skelton-trained Hot Lick who was well beaten on the Flat on his debut for this yard while Bowban can claim third for a stable who have won this event twice in recent years.
