4/6
Won Grade 2 hurdle at Haydock prior to excellent third in the Morebattle at Kelso. Made very hard work of landing cramped odds at Newbury last time, but circumstances were far from ideal.

Off the mark over hurdles with plenty to spare on Hereford handicap bow (19.7f) in February. Excellent second at Kelso prior to resume winning ways back in novice company at Fakenham. Respected.

Promise in bumpers and successful twice in novice company this season. Failed to get home in the Coral Cup at the Festival, but he commands respect now back in a novice.

Placed in bumpers and first 3 starts over hurdles for this yard this season, but has yet to better fair form so looks up against it. Has had a wind operation since last seen.

Forecasts

Faivoir (4/6), Torn And Frayed (2/1), Tamar Bridge (4/1), Witness Protection (8/1), Nickelsonthedime (33/1)

Verdict

WITNESS PROTECTION failed to get home in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, but he's worth another chance now returning to novice company given how well his Chepstow win has worked out. Torn And Frayed has upped his game recently and commands respect, as do Faivoir and Tamar Bridge in an interesting race.
