Pertemps Network Conditional Jockeys' Selling Handicap Hurdle

Looked more straightforward than has been the case in recent times, winning 4 times in all, including for new yard in June. Has struggled from higher marks on last 2 outings and it's possible he's gone off the boil but recent winning form is rare in this field.

Winner of a Kelso maiden hurdle in September 2019 but hasn't showed much since returning from a lengthy absence. Dropped another 5 lb but needs to prove he retains ability.

Jumping issues have stalled what looked to be a promising chase career, so he reverts to hurdling for first time since winning at Exeter in April 2021. Hard to assess what sort of form he's in at present, so looks best watched.

Disappointing spell on Flat this summer but did finish second in Wincanton conditionals event on his penultimate start over hurdles. 4 lb lower now but bit to prove on recent showings.

Long-standing maiden failed to build on the minor promise of his return to chasing when well beaten at Plumpton last week. Opposable for win purposes again.

Won selling event on return but went backwards from that when eleventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 13 days ago. Considered if able to bounce back.

Long-standing maiden was possibly amiss when pulled up on chase debut last time. Made frame over longer trips couple of times during the summer but bit more likely needed to win a race.

Not disgraced back over hurdles when runner-up in C&D seller 21 days ago. Similar effort could well see him in the mix here.

Bumper winner still looks too headstrong to recommend as any sort of betting proposition. Passed over again.

Fair on Flat in Ireland but has barely hinted at ability over hurdles for this yard and is hard to fancy from out of weights.

Little sign of ability, including in points. Has professional jockey on board for first time in years but it'll be a big surprise to see him make a winning handicap debut.
