Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 96

Just modest form over hurdles in Ireland for David Harry Kelly so improvement required on handicap debut for new yard.

10/3

Maiden who shaped as if still in good form when third of 17 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago, despite being left with a lot to do. Player back down in trip.

Form: 9-57743

Benito²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: T Lacey| OR: 88

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 88WS

Shutthegate²⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: J E Moore| T: J L Spearing| OR: 79

18/1

9/2
