Victorious under an amateur rider at Fontwell over an extended 3m1f over fences in May but well held in a Listed handicap here last time out. Reverts to hurdles today with cheekpieces fitted for the first time and has a leading Irish jockey in the saddle.

Disappointing in the main since winning at Perth over 2m4f on good ground last April. Pulled up at Chepstow (good) in December when last in action and worth a check in the market here.

Ran well when finishing a close third over 2m7f at Worcester (good) last time out. Disappointed on previous start and races off a mark 8lb higher than for his most recent success today.

Finished runner-up twice including when beaten 2L in a four runner Ffos Las (good-to-soft) handicap hurdle over 3m this spring. Pulled up in a Listed handicap chase here subsequently however and drops in grade returning to hurdles today.

Finished runner-up over an extended 2m5f in a handicap hurdle on good-to-soft ground here last month but disappointed when sent off favourite for a seller subsequently. Wears cheekpieces for the first time here.

Beaten a neck over 2m7f at Worcester (good) in a handicap hurdle last time out. Remains unexposed in handicap company racing off a 1lb higher mark today and looks likely to run well once more.

Victorious off a 4lb higher mark over fences at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good-to-firm) 12 months ago. Beaten 13½L over the same trip in a handicap hurdle on her seasonal debut earlier this month and has won off a 7lb higher mark in the past.

Forecasts

Luccombe Down (2/1), Buckle Street (7/2), Braavos (9/2), Miss Serious (6/1), Horace Hazel (7/1), Still Believing (11/1), Lady Of Longstone (14/1), Kilfinichen Bay (20/1)

Verdict

STILL BELIEVING was pulled up in a competitive handicap chase here last time out but had been running well prior to that including when runner-up in a four runner hurdle on her penultimate outing. Evan Williams can boast a 20% strike-rate (3/15) recently and the selection can enhance that with a victory here. MIss Serious is well handicapped on her old form and can claim second here having finished sixth on her first hurdles start in over a year earlier this month. Buckle Street, beaten a neck last time and unexposed in handicap company finish third in this event.
