Some promise in maiden and novice hurdles but laboured over a sharp 2m on his handicap debut at Kempton in February. Step up in trip saw him in a better light last time and ended up going off favourite for that contest.

Twice a winner here back in 2015, form this season not so good, but showed shoots of encouragement when third of nine, beaten just over 4L behind Cillian's Well, here in July over an extended 2m2f.

Showed very little at Worcester in June when returned from more than 500 days off the track and little better next time when sixth of eight beaten 25L at Stratford.

Useful on the Flat and confirmed the promise of a couple of hurdle starts with a win at Newton Abbot in October. Mainly disappointing off marks in the hundreds since.

Pulled up on hurdling debut in January and well beaten, no impression on three starts since, including a 85L defeat last day in Taunton handicap over 2m3f.

Good effort in reappearance here last month over slightly longer trip, just getting touched off into second spot, before falling off a higher mark, when eight lengths fourth of eight. Not won since 2014.

Definite promise in novice/maiden hurdles early on but it's all rather unravelled, pulled up at Bangor in February and a 34L defeat here in June. Promising over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester. Strangely dropped in trip again.

Typically likes to front run, finally scoring at the 51st time of asking over 2m at Uttoxeter in May. 1LB lower than that win following a string of defeats and poor performances.

1m7f winner in France for Francois Doumen (April 2016) but showed little for Gary Moore over hurdles and in a claimer on the Flat. However, claimed for £14,000 and pitched in at the very deep end in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot on stable debut. Last of six last day in Worcester handicap, beaten 23L.

Recorded a couple of wins back in 2015 and starting to look well handicapped after some generous relief from the handicapper, but has failed to fire on last three starts.

Hit a purple match in April 2015 when completing a hat-trick. Recorded his first win for two years at Taunton on his comeback run this season and not disgraced off a 7lb higher mark at Warwick when fourth of 16. Unseated and well beaten 37L since.

Pops up every now and then, and his turn came around at Chepstow in March when winning on soft ground. Not disgraced in two seasonal starts here, before pulling-up when tailed off, here two weeks ago.

Not seen since finishing 49L behind Silver Streak in Taunton handicap over the extended 2m on good ground. Only hurdle win in 11 attempts came in July 2014. First start for new yard.

Forecasts

Kublai (9/2), Bulletproof (9/2), Khismet (5/1), Pengo's Boy (6/1), Keating (7/1), Tamarillo Grove (17/2), Orion's Might (12/1), Frozen Over (16/1), Ilewindelilah (16/1), Karl Marx (25/1), Serveontime (25/1), Soiesauvage (33/1), Scrumpy Boy (50/1), Nice Thoughts (50/1)

Verdict

One on the shortlist Orion's Might, will possibly be the one to take them along here, with Frozen Over in close behind. The early pace, may set the race up for the likes of Kublai and BULETTPROOF, showed shoots of encouragement when third of nine, beaten just over 4L behind Cillian's Well, here in July over an extended 2m2f.
