Has shown a bit in juvenile/maiden hurdles but handicap mark looks stiff ahead of first run for 9 months.
Musselburgh handicap hurdle winner in December 2018 but lightly raced since, showing a bit back from 9 months off at Stratford 4 weeks ago. Back up in trip but not one for maximum faith.
Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on recent handicap debut at Cartmel (22.1f), the combination of a stiff opening mark and a longer trip eventually taking its toll. May do better still.
Off the mark in good style back from 5 months off in 20.4f Southwell handicap hurdle under this rider, quickening clear from the last. Up 10 lb and could rack up a sequence.
Flat winner. A switch to forcing tactics seemed to backfire here on Monday on the back of a good run at Southwell. Change of headgear and his mark still looks stiff enough.
Bumper winner who could do better in this sphere now handicapping back up in trip, though her mark demands she improves.
Bumper winner on debut and caught the eye on handicap bow in this sphere at Wetherby (2m, heavy) on the final day of last season. Remains with potential up in trip/faced with less testing ground.
Multiple winner in Ireland who wasn't disgraced in Stratford selling hurdle on second run for trainer when last seen 13 months ago. Some going if he can take this on return, though.
Novice handicap hurdle winner over C&D last summer but held off this sort of mark after (including over fences) and should come on for this first run in 9 months in first-time tongue tie.
Fit from the Flat and he was backed when falling at Perth last time, in the process of running well when departing, looking more enthusiastic than he often does. Hopefully that hasn't left a mark.
Won handicap hurdles here and at Southwell within the space of 8 days in October but hasn't returned in much form, never in it back on the Flat last week.
Exposed as just a poor maiden in this sphere and probably up against it once more on first start for 10 months.

SKYLANNA BREEZE toyed with his rivals when opening his account on his return at Southwell and is the type to rack up a sequence. Hello Bob remains with potential in this sphere and is worth a look on her first run since March. Gripper was nibbled at in the betting and in the process of running well when falling at Perth, so it will be interesting to see if his backers return.
