At The Races App Form Study Handicap Hurdle

Winner in France. Showed he retains ability on second outing after long absence when length second at Wincanton (21f) in April but nudged back up 4 lb.

Slipped significantly in the weights since leaving Willie Mullins and capitalised to score at Southwell back over hurdles (this sort of trip) last month. Good second behind one throw in at Market Rasen subsequently and he wants keeping on side.

Twice successful over hurdles for Noel Meade in Ireland and, having dropped in the weights, ran best race for current yard when third at Southwell (20.4f) in March. Poor at Perth next time but down another 2 lb after a break.

Fair 2m Flat winner who showed similar form over hurdles for Alan King, scoring at Newcastle. Pretty promising start for new yard here (2m) with tongue tie fitted 17 days ago and not dismissed if building on that over this longer trip.

Usually well found in the betting, landing cramped odds in a Newcastle novice hurdle (16.2f) in March. Disappointing twice since, off the bridle a bit too early enough for comfort back in a novice at Sedgefield 5 weeks ago. Steps up in trip.

Bumper winner who is threatening to come good over hurdles, unlucky to bump into an improver at Warwick (21f) in March. Seems likely to go well again.

Has proved a different proposition since switched to handicaps, making it 3 wins from 4 starts with victory over C&D 32 days ago, readily coming clear under this rider. Tongue tie goes on. More to come.
