Black Mountain Botanicals Handicap Hurdle

Capitalised on a falling mark to win 4-runner handicap at Stratford in July. Respectable third there 11 days later. Given a break since.

Won a 3m Southwell handicap last winter and runner-up on next 2 outings. Run of good form came to a halt when well-held fifth at Worcester in May but capable of bouncing back after a break.

Bumper winner in 2019 and finally off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in September. Creditable third of 8 at Fontwell since. Likely to be in the mix again.

Second career success when landing a big-field handicap at Taunton (3m) when last seen in March. Claims if returning from an 8-month lay-off in similar form.

Has shown a fair level of ability over hurdles but weak finishes on his last 2 outings raise a few doubts. Cheekpieces go on for the first time now.

Maiden in Ireland but it didn't take her long to come good for new yard, winning a Uttoxeter handicap and Cartmel novice in midsummer. Not at her best in 2 outings this autumn, though.

Landed back-to-back handicaps in the spring and also successful here last month. Even better form when runner-up over C&D 15 days ago. Another bold show likely.

Bumper winner on debut back in spring 2019 but has struggled over hurdles/fences, producing a laboured effort in a Ffos Las chase latest. First-time tongue tie and refitted cheekpieces combination needs to make a big difference.

Has been unable to kick on from an eye-catching hurdling debut, polling up in 2 outings at the start of the season and well beaten back from a break last month. Has come down a long way in the weights as a result but needs first-time cheekpieces to spark a revival.
