Has thrived since joining this trainer, winning both starts at 2m4f/2m7½f on heavy/soft ground by wide margins and gone up 16lb in the process. 6lb claimer now assigned to combat latest rise and he should again be tough to beat.
Showed some promise in all three starts in maiden hurdles and looked as though he would be a handicap prospect. However, perhaps hasn't been done many favours with this initial mark and is probably one to watch again this time.
Yet to convince over trips further than 2m, but has conditions to suit and worth noting that both British wins were from slightly higher marks. Returns post-wind surgery and is worth a market check to gauge confidence in a revival.
Has made the frame just once in seven attempts over hurdles, where his best effort was when beaten just over 6L into fifth from this mark at Taunton in November. Was making progress when falling there last time and wouldn't want to rule him out.
Completed a truncated hat-trick when scoring at Newcastle in December (2m½f, soft) and has produced two similar efforts from higher marks than that since. Nudged up another 1lb today, but certainly has frame claims at the least.
Stayed 1m7f on the Flat in Germany. Ran as if he wanted further on British/stable debut at Ludlow in December, but stepped up to 2m3f last time he weakened and was pulled up on heavy ground. Headgear may help but a watching brief looks prudent.
Was beaten just 1L from today's mark over C&D (good) in August 2016 and although she is 0-14 over hurdles, she has proved herself competitive from similar marks again since, so she is not ruled out of the prizes.
Forecasts
Calipso Collonges (4/6), Pixiepot (4/1), Minella Fiveo (12/1), Status Quo (12/1), Morning With Ivan (12/1), Lincoln County (14/1), Fort Jefferson (25/1)
Despite a significant drop in trip it is hard to get away from CALIPSO COLLONGES here and Olly Murphy's six-year-old is taken to defy his latest rise and complete a hat-trick after two decisive wins since joining this trainer. Voodoo Doll could emerge as a danger, while the race for the places could be competitive, with Status Quo, Morning With Ivan and Pixiepot all of interest in that regard.
