6/4
Improved when opening his account on second start for present yard with cheekpieces/tongue strap enlisted at Fakenham last month. Left poorly placed when third to The Skiffle King at Southwell (25.8f) since and while more is needed now his new mark has kicked in, he's every inch a leading contender.

13/2
Hinted at ability in a couple of novice events during the autumn but has shown next to nothing since making his way down the handicap route. Hopes pinned on the fitting of cheekpieces sparking a jolt of improvement here.

5/2
Remains a maiden following 16 starts overall but has made the frame all 5 starts over hurdles this season, not beaten far when fourth in a 13-runner Doncaster handicap (19.4f) last time. Moving back up in trip looks a good move and he's one of the more likely winners.

12/1
Ended last term with a fair handicap debut sixth at Exeter but has failed to complete all 3 starts so far this season, pulled up back hurdling at Leicester following a couple of non-completions over fences at Lingfield. Has undergone a wind op since his latest start.

4/1
Equipped with first-time cheekpieces when getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (25.8f) last month. Proved that to be no flash in the pan when third off 5 lb higher at Huntingdon recently and should be in the mix once again.

Forecasts

Dev Of Tara (6/4), Blended Stealth (5/2), The Skiffle King (4/1), Dan Daly (13/2), Percy Veering (12/1), Country Kitten (40/1)

Verdict

With this step back up in trip a plus, BLENDED STEALTH is taken to belatedly open his account. The 6-y-o was found wanting for a change of gear back down in trip at Doncaster last time but finished a creditable third all the same and he's been eased 1 lb since. Dev of Tara wasn't seen to best effect when third to The Skiffle King at Southwell and, though now worse off at the weights with that rival, he is taken to reverse those placings and emerge as the main danger.
