Has lost his way slightly since taking a Newton Abbot novices' handicap hurdle a year ago and now resorts to claiming company off what looks a big weight.
Disappointed in a selling handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time when even money favourite, but well treated based on handicap ratings/weight carried here and arrives in good form.
Yet to show much in handicaps. Needs switch to selling company/first-time tongue strap to spark some improvement if she's to play a part.

When comparing weight carried here to handicap ratings, CLIFFSIDE PARK holds obvious claims. He may have been a disappointing favourite last time out but he's better than he showed there, and with the Champion Jockey in the saddle can step up on that effort to get back to winning ways here. Destiny's Gold is the only other 110+ rated horse and is by far the biggest danger, followed by Northandsouth.
