Scored over 3m at Haydock off this this mark in May. Back-to-form second of 11 at Chepstow a month ago but the form has taken a couple of knocks since.

Fairly useful jumper in Ireland, winning maiden chase in July. Creditable third in Gowran handicap hurdle in October (final run for Mouse Morris). Has a hood on first time on yard debut. Interesting.

Bumper/useful dual novice hurdler winner earlier in career but seen only twice since spring 2019, struggling from a long way out in handicap chase at Ayr in November. Cheekpieces added back hurdling.

Last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f) in November but his runs at Ffos Las and Cheltenham prior to that had been creditable.

€320,000 buy after point win. Looked good prospect when scoring on Newbury hurdle debut last December but he hasn't built on that since, pulling up on handicap debut/return. Blinkers need to help.

Back to smart best after wind op when landing chases at Kempton and Cheltenham last spring. Better effort this term (but not close to best) when fourth in Becher at Aintree. Lower mark back hurdling.

Bumper winner who struck at first time of asking over hurdles in a 23f Bangor maiden in April. Ran to a similar level when fourth on his Ludlow return in April and he could improve now handicapping.

Progressing nicely, readily getting off the mark in 19f Catterick maiden 3 weeks ago. Goes up in trip again now back in a handicap. Likely his best days are ahead of him.

Showed good attitude to win on Carlisle hurdle debut in October. His 2 runs since have been underwhelming but it's still early days for his top yard and he has a tongue tie on now handicapping.

Forecasts

Brorson (4/6), Domaine De L'Isle (6/1), Kayf Hernando (8/1), Lecale's Article (12/1), Jersey Wonder (14/1), Dell' Arca (16/1), Aviewtosea (18/1), Friary Rock (25/1), Finawn Bawn (40/1)

Verdict

An open race in which the vote goes to BRORSON who does have stamina to prove now stepping up significantly in trip, but he leaves the impression he'll get further and he looked like a horse very much heading in the right direction at Catterick. Friary Rock is of some interest on first outing for Laura Morgan, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Aviewtosea is unexposed now handicapping.
