Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: A McNamara| OR: 54

9/1

Hasn't offered a great deal of promise over hurdles but he was in form when last seen on the Flat in August, so there's every chance he'll be competitive back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Annie Pender (15/8), Vita Veritas (16/5), Cool Colonnade (4/1), Martha's Vineyard (9/2), Make Good (13/2), Swelltime (7/1), Amlad (9/1), Harvey Specter (10/1), Pikaia (14/1), Small Town Boy (18/1), Caridadi (22/1), Stellify (25/1), Self Assessed (40/1), No Trouble (40/1), Liam Eile (50/1), Solar Heat (66/1), Still Alive (80/1)

ANNIE PENDER's Flat record is quite uninspiring but she showed marked improvement to score in a novice hurdle at Listowel a fortnight ago, so she's a worth a chance to capitalise on what looks a potentially very lenient mark back in this discipline. Make Good and Amlad strike as the most feasible dangers.
