Promising earlier in his career, but shown little spark in 3 starts over hurdles for new yard this season and just ticking over in jumpers bumpers. This is a drop in class returned to timber.

Winner of Ludlow juvenile hurdle last season and best effort this season when third in first-time cheekpieces at Fakenham last month. Since left Alan King and had a breathing operation.

Career best when readily winning 17f handicap hurdle at Exeter in November. Just a fair effort from this mark at Newbury but shaped as though in good form in a jumpers bumper since.

Useful and progressive on the Flat for Andrew Balding. Sent off odds on but undone by inexperience on hurdles debut over C&D and still looked to be learning when occupying same spot at Wincanton.

Kempton winner in 2019 but ended last year out of sorts. Dropping in the weights but has a fair bit to prove.

Forecasts

Natural History (8/13), Crooks Peak (10/3), Saggazza (6/1), Mystic Dreamer (13/2), Sorbet (13/2), Vision Clear (11/1), Hijran (20/1), Group Stage (22/1)

Verdict

NATURAL HISTORY has looked a work-in-progress over hurdles in recent weeks, but he makes a quick switch to handicaps and has been allotted a lenient mark based on his Flat ability. Mystic Dreamer can remain competitive, while Crooks Peak needs a check in the betting eased in class.
