Eleven runs since last win in 2021 and has been folding worrying tamely in handicaps recently, though this is a much weaker race than he normally contests so no surprise to see him make more of an impact.
|
Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler No Hiding Place. Unplaced both completed starts in Irish points. Doesn't make much appeal on Rules debut.
|
Form of his 100/1-second at Chepstow in April very much rates a standout amongst an otherwise underwhelming profile. Pulled up on handicap debut there on return.
|
From a top family but went with little promise on debut for Jessica Bedi last month and looks opposable having been sold cheaply. Tongue tie goes on.
|
More miss than hit for Sam Curling in Ireland and was last of 3 finishers in a point since last seen in May.
|
Winless over hurdles since 2019 but ran well when runner-up at Worcester this summer. Lost chance with bad mistake on latest hurdles start but looks the one to beat on peak form.
|
38-race maiden was grossly flattered by his proximity to the exciting Lallygag when second in 3-runner novice at Exeter last time. More needed.
|
Second at Fakenham on most recent completed hurdles start (fell when odds-on in similar selling event next outing). Showed nothing on Flat returning from 11-month break last time but still of interest in this company on last year's form.
|
Runner-up in selling handicap at Newton Abbot in September but ran poorly last time and others looks much better treated on these terms.
|
Still a maiden and little impact in 5 runs for this yard. No better for breathing-op at Worcester last time. Cheekpieces now applied.

Forecasts
True Romance (5/6), Iron Heart (10/3), Vision Clear (9/1), Yaazaain (10/1), Vanderbilt (10/1), Offaly Star (20/1), Lord Bill (25/1), Octavius Sabini (28/1), No Reaction (66/1), Bert Saxby (80/1)
TRUE ROMANCE wasn't completely disgraced on the Flat last time and sets the standard back over obstacles in a thin seller. Iron Heart and Vision Clear look the biggest threats.
