Useful winning chaser at his best but he found little when only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f) 16 days ago. Switches to hurdles with tongue strap on and a bit to prove.
|
Fit from the Flat and posted his best effort in this sphere when second of 16 in handicap at Killarney (17f) 14 days ago. Irish raider can't be ruled out despite 9 lb hike in the weights.
|
Scored at Doncaster in November and signalled he is ready to strike again when strong-travelling fourth of 16 at Haydock 22 days ago. Player eased 1 lb now.
|
Got back on track in blinkers when second of 11 in 2m handicap hurdle at Haydock 43 days ago. Up 2 lb but he can give another good account with headgear retained.
|
Fairly useful winner at his best but off 12 months since creditable fourth over C&D. Has won off a break before, so he's no forlorn hope.
|
Bagged handicaps at Musselburgh and Sedgefield in the spring before going in readily on the Flat at Carlisle 13 days ago. Thriving at present, and another bold showing is very much on the cards.

Forecasts
The Navigator (15/8), Ingleby Hollow (4/1), Castel Gandolfo (4/1), Rich Belief (9/2), Gaelik Coast (10/1), Newtown Boy (12/1)
THE NAVIGATOR comes here at the top of his game and is fancied to defy a career-high mark and make it four on the spin. Ingleby Hollow shaped well when fourth in the Swinton at Haydock and rates a big threat though, with in-form Castel Gandolfo also firmly in the picture in a useful handicap.
