C&D winner from 11 lb higher mark last winter but lost his way thereafter, including in trio of starts over fences during the spring. Proved too headstrong on return/back of wind op at Newton Abbot (16.7f) 3 weeks ago but that may have taken the freshness out of him.
|
Point winner who showed first form under Rules when fourth in a Southwell novice (15.8f) in April. However, that didn't look a robust piece of form and he was well held on handicap bow the following month. Absent since.
|
Crucially saw his race out better when taking a 19f maiden hurdle here in April. However, not in anything like the same form returned to handicaps at Newton Abbot (18.5f, soft) in May. Another back from a break now.
|
Ran about as well as could have been expected from stiff opening mark when fourth in a selling handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.6f) early on last month. Let down by jumping on chase debut at Bangor since and no forlorn hope returned to timber now.
|
Ended time with Caroline Bailey below form and, having pulled hard on back of 4 months off, he ran poorly when last of 9 in a Newton Abbot (16.7f) 3 weeks ago. This should reveal more.
|
Well ridden when shedding maiden tag at Market Rasen (16.5f) in May and stepped up on return from 3-month break when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in August. One to consider.
|
Largely consistent prior to regaining winning thread at Chepstow (2m) in March and not disgraced when midfield from his inflated mark at Fontwell (17.7f) in April. Not discounted on return to action.
|
Fair maiden on Flat for Richard Hannon. Good start over hurdles for new stable, landing 4-runner Stratford juvenile prior to a respectable third at Worcester (2m) 5 weeks ago. Of definite interest now handicapping given low-mileage profile.
|
Long-standing maiden under both codes who was well below best on the Flat at Thirsk (12f) last month. Market should prove a useful guide back over timber with tongue tie on for first time in this sphere.
|
Fairly useful at best on Flat. Yet to reach same level in this sphere but off the mark from basement mark at Worcester (2m) in June and backed that up when third at Newton Abbot (16.7f) 3 weeks ago. Claims of hitting the frame again.
|
Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) and some encouragement to glean from opening pair of hurdle exploits for new yard, second of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) in August. Possible she can do better now attentions switched to handicaps.

Forecasts
Never No Trouble (16/5), Flintstone (10/3), Canal Rocks (13/2), Gerard Mentor (15/2), Karakoram (15/2), Commander Miller (8/1), Opening Bid (9/1), Razzo Italiano (14/1), Army Of One (28/1), Begin The Luck (33/1), El Diablo (66/1)
A fair maiden on the Flat, FLINTSTONE has made a bright start over hurdles, off the mark at Stratford prior to a good third under a penalty in a Worcester juvenile 5 weeks ago. He gets the nod to continue the good work now handicapping, with fellow 3-y-o Never No Trouble a live threat. Razzo Italiano and Canal Rocks complete the shortlist.
