Victorious on heavy ground at Compiegne (1m4f) in March last year but has finished held in three starts over hurdles since joining this stable. Market support would be notable on his return to the Flat.
Hurdles winner on good-to-soft ground on stable debut last November and placed in that sphere subsequently. Interesting upped in trip on Flat return having won off a 5lb higher mark over an extended 1m2f at Roscommon (soft) last August.
Ran well when finishing 2½L second in a 2m4f selling handicap hurdle at Fakenham (good-to-soft) in January. Disappointing at Kempton (2m5f, good-to-soft) over hurdles subsequently and he is probably best watched on Flat return.
Well beaten 14L last of ten in a 1m6f handicap at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) at the start of this month. Visor replaces cheekpieces worn that day and market support would be notable having won over C&D in the past.
Disappointing in three starts since finishing 30L second in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, good) in April last year. Probably best watched on his first Flat start since July 2018.
Made a winning return to the Flat when victorious by 1½L in a handicap over an extended 2m at Newcastle earlier this month. Raised 2lb for that success and is one to note on his return to turf.
Making her debut for this yard when finishing 7L sixth in a 2m handicap hurdle at Warwick (good-to-soft) in January. Interesting to see how she fares on her first Flat start for this yard.
Fair effort in finishing 13L third in a small field handicap hurdle over an extended 2m at Bangor (good) last August. Vulnerable to younger rivals racing from out of the weights on his first start on the Flat in nearly a year.
Had just two starts since finishing 5L fourth in a 1m6f handicap at Lingfield (good-to-firm) in September 2018 and he is probably best watched racing from out of the handicap on his first start in over 18 months.
Forecasts
Le Musee (7/4), Scorched Earth (4/1), Chez Hans (4/1), Bailarico (11/2), Nearly Famous (8/1), Airton (14/1), Takbeer (33/1), Grams And Ounces (66/1), Zenafire (66/1)
SCORCHED EARTH showed winning handicap form in this sphere in Ireland for his previous stable and he is taken to register a victory a second Flat success by taking division two of the staying handicap. The selection is stepping up in trip but has run well on the forecast good ground in the past and he can get the better of his rivals here with top weight Chez Hans, a claiming race winner in France on his most recent Flat start capable of getting the better of recent AW winner Le Musee in the battle for second.
