Neck winner of a 2m maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (good) in November and placed at Ludlow (2m, soft) the following month. Well below that form at latter venue last month when returning from a break but faces a fairly simple task here.
Atraf half-brother to 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner Topper Thornton, who failed to beat a rival in a bumper at Market Rasen on racecourse bow early this month. Hooded now, and needs to improve markedly for that introduction.
Low-grade Flat handicapper who showed very little in three runs over hurdles as a juvenile. Running respectably on AW when last seen, and may yet do better in this sphere.
Forecasts
Cervaro Mix (1/12), Steel Helmet (10/1), Just Marvin (16/1)
A poor turnout for a race of its type, and despite disappointing last time, this looks little more than a penalty kick for Huntingdon winner CERVARO MIX. Steel Helmet at least has the benefit of a few respectable Flat efforts to his name, so should win the battle for the minor berth, with Just Marvin likely to need more time before the penny drops.
