Off the mark in good style back from a break a Chepstow (19.4f, good) in April and not disgraced off this 11 lb higher mark at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) next time. Stiffer test here shouldn't be an issue, but looks vulnerable under top-weight on debut for new yard.

Opened his account at sixth attempt over hurdles when landing a Hexham seller (16.2f, good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces last month. However, goes without the headgear starting out for new connections here and he's taking a step into the unknown trip-wise.

Struck for the first time over hurdles at Sedgefield in January and best effort since when hitting the crossbar there (21.2f, good) last time. Mark unchanged and repeat of that will put him firmly in the picture.

Hasn't tasted success since striking over C&D last summer, but she's now 13 lb below that winning mark and there were positives to glean from her latest effort at Sedgefield (19.8f, good). Couldn't rule out.

Has offered precious little since belying odds of 66/1 in a Tramore maiden hurdle for previous connections in July 2020. Best to look elsewhere.

Sliding in the weights without really looking like taking advantage at present, and he's likely to again find one or two too strong.

11/8
Back on track for new yard when justifying support in a mares' handicap at Ayr last month. Subsequent near miss at the same course (20.4f, good) was no backward step and another bold show anticipated back up in trip here.

Best effort to date when third in 3m Wetherby handicap at the end of March, but couldn't say that she built on that at Sedgefield since and others are more appealing from a win perspective.

Winner of just one of his 22 hurdles start, and that success was gained in a maiden here back in July 2016. 2 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Forecasts

On We Go (11/8), Calliope (9/2), Fightfortheroses (13/2), Well Educated (7/1), Lusitanien (7/1), Tokaramore (8/1), Benito (11/1), Howzat Hiris (14/1), Getaway Glenda (33/1), Dorothy's Flame (66/1), Crakehall Lad (66/1)

Verdict

Ready preference is for ON WE GO, who has returned from a break in good form for her new yard and remains on a workable mark. Calliope, a C&D winner last summer, is next on the list following an encouraging effort at Sedgefield, while Fightfortheroses also enters calculations having found just one too good off this mark at the same course last time.
