Won a point-to-point last year but is a 12-race maiden under rules. Went close at Uttoxeter, just failing to reel in the winner and that was his best effort over fences to date, before improving again, finishing second of six beaten 2L, in a Ffos Las novice handicap chase, last time out at the beginning of the month.
Maiden after 17 starts but ran well from over a stone out of the handicap when finishing 9L second at Stratford (good-to-soft) in first time blinkers (retained), before getting off the mark in a Bangor-On-Dee over 2m4¼L on good ground in blinkers once again, which looks the key to the nine-year-old.
Rated 117 over hurdles, but barely got competitive in a recent spell with Richard Phillips. Ran well when finishing 4L second behind a well handicapped rival on debut for this yard over an extended 2m6f at Stratford (good), before finishing third of four, making no impression, beaten 31L.
Pulled-up, beaten 22L and Pulled-up in three chase starts, including breaking a blood vessel on chasing debut. No obvious chance in current form.
0/10 under rules without even hitting the frame. Debut for new yard following three unremarkable starts in point-to-point contests.

Forecasts
Jonagold (7/4), Speed Demon (3/1), Whos De Baby (4/1), Porters Lane (4/1), West Class (6/1), Monte Wildhorn (7/1), Get Back To Me (11/1), High Counsel (14/1)
A race with slight historical advantage for those ridden prominently or close to the pace, which brings in front-runner WHO'S DA BABY, who made all, getting off the mark in a Bangor-On-Dee over 2m4¼L on good ground, blinkers applied once again, which looks the key. Jonagold and High Councel (doubtful) could be at the head of the following pack. With the Dan Skelton stable in good form, Speed Demon can continue his improvement for his new yard on his third start for new connections.
- Whos De Baby
- Speed Demon
- Jonagold
