Further, Faster, Greater - New Heli Appeal Claiming Hurdle

Showed some improvement on recent handicap debut over hurdles at Southwell last month and this represents a drop in class. Should have more to come against exposed rivals.

Has tried various headgear of late but left off today. Has struggled of late over hurdles and no better on chasing debut last time. Now back over the smaller obstacles but plenty to prove at present.

Several placed efforts since winning at Uttoxeter in June without looking like adding to that victory. Beaten in a seller on last run for Dan Skelton and blinkers worn then for the first time are now dispensed with on debut for new trainer.

Showed a little ability when last seen over hurdles two years ago but after an absence his form on the Flat has tailed off and a bit to prove now back over Jumps.

No ability on the Flat over distances ranging from 7f to 1m4f and rated just 29 in that sphere. Needs this switch to transform him.

One time decent hurdler for Paul Nicholls but has struggled to make the track in the last two years and was sold for just £2,000 prior to been pulled up in a claiming chase on debut for current yard. Hard to fancy on that evidence.

Won a seller when with Micky Hammond at Catterick last December but has shown noting under both codes since then and was tailed off at Fakenham last month.

Not the force of old but did win twice over C&D in the space of a week in May. Could have needed the run here last month after a little break and if bouncing back could figure in this grade.

Has barely beaten a rival in a pair of bumpers and three novice hurdles and impossible to fancy on all known evidence.
