Had shown little over hurdles but a different proposition on handicapping debut when landing a gamble with a bit in hand at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago. 7lb rise gives him more to do but clearly yet to reach his ceiling over hurdles.
Has had some gaps between appearances and lost his action when last seen at Musselburgh (would have been placed otherwise). Has the ability to go well if fit enough after another break.
Placed at up to 1m on the Flat, though regressive in that sphere. Poor form in trio of novice hurdles at Ludlow and opening mark now handicapping looks testing enough.
Winner in the past when trained by Gordon Elliott. Hasn't raced over hurdles since 2018 but has had two recent spins on the Flat so should be fit to go and market should be revealing.
Dual winner on the Flat when trained in Ireland but hurdling career has been held back by pulling too hard and will need to learn to settle better to fulfil his potential.
Not seen over jumps since 2018 but has three hurdles wins to his name and is fit from a busy spell of late on the Flat. Trainer has won with three of his last four runners so no surprise should he play a part here.
First run since coming from Ireland where he showed ability when second at Tramore a year ago but poor form under various codes since. Only of interest on English debut here if market speaks in his favour.
Sprang a 50/1 shock on hurdling debut at Ludlow in 2018 but ran poorly both runs over timber since and had varied career without showing much. Now hurdling for Roger Teal and needs to bounce back.
Poor form in three novice hurdles with Tim Vaughan in 2017 but five wins on the Flat for Patrick Chamings last year over various trips and recent run at Sandown put a fitness edge on him. Could be thrown in on return to timber for another yard.
Pulled up last five runs and impossible to make a case for from 16lb out of the weights after a years absence.
Forecasts
Perfect City (2/1), For Pleasure (9/4), Seaborn (5/2), Londonia (7/1), Memphis Bleek (20/1), Buonarotti Boy (40/1), Spin The Coin (40/1), Captain Kissinger (50/1), The Artful Roger (100/1), Justthegrey (200/1)
The market will be interesting here but SEABORN improved 22lb in winning five times on the Flat last year, could take a deal of beating racing off such a lowly mark for his poor form in this sphere in 2017. Perfect City landed some tidy bets at Uttoxeter and should have more to come while Londonia is worth a second look with the stable in hot form.
