In process of running better when unseating at Doncaster on penultimate start and well backed, he duly made amends at Plumpton (25f) 39 days ago, showing best finishing speed in slowly-run race. Respected up 3 lb.
|
Won twice at Kelso in the first half of the season. Creditable second over C&D and back at Kelso on his last 2 starts. Likely to give another good account.
|
Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who won twice for Fergal O'Brien last summer but has yet to threaten for ths yard. Mark on the slide as a result but others have less to prove.
|
Scored at Hexham last May and largely in form since. Respectable fifth at Kelso last month but the reopposing Lock Down Luke and Fortcanyon were ahead of him.
|
Made a winning return to hurdles for new yard at Newcastle in November. Creditable third in a big field at Doncaster next time but not at best when fourth of 7 here since. Stable's good form provides hope she can bounce back.
|
Won twice from 4 starts over hurdles in France last season. Best effort for this yard when second (Starlyte third) of 15 at Doncaster (3m) in January. Not in quite the same form when seventh of 12 at Wetherby since. Cheekpieces he wore for one his wins in France are on for the first time in Britain.
|
Carries his head awkwardly but off the mark in 2m handicap at Leicester in November. Has continued in decent nick, proving his stamina for 3m when fourth of 12 at Wetherby last time.
|
Three wins last winter and off the mark for the current campaign at Ayr (3m) 14 days ago. Should remain competitive after a 4 lb rise.
|
Consistent handicapper who was a creditable fifth of 15 at Hexham (3m, heavy) last week. Another who can't be discounted.
|
Won a C&D handicap in November and added to tally at Kelso (2m) in January. Another good run here when third in February and respectable second at Sedgefield last week. One to consider under Brian Hughes.
|
Back to winning ways when accounting for 4 rivals from the front here (2½m) in January. Went close to another win here when headed in the dying strides by Lastofthecosmics over this trip last month. Nudged up 3 lb.
|
Winner at Newcastle in January. Good fourth (Lock Down Luke second) of 11 to Shantou Moon at Kelso 5 weeks ago. In the mix again.
|
Second career success when collaring the reopposing Red Missile near the finish over C&D last month. Should remain competitive after a 4 lb rise.
|
Career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (3m) last month, always holding on. Another sound effort when placed from 4 lb higher over hurdles at Carlisle (25f) since.

Forecasts
Shoeshine Boy (6/1), Faithfulflyer (13/2), Lock Down Luke (13/2), Curley Finger (15/2), Fortcanyon (15/2), Lastofthecosmics (9/1), Crossing The Bar (10/1), Ribeye (12/1), Bridge Road (12/1), Kadex (14/1), Red Missile (16/1), You Some Boy (18/1), Starlyte (20/1), Imperial Sachin's (80/1)
This is very competitive. FAITHFULFLYER gets the nod under Brian Hughes but there are many possible dangers, headed by Crossing The Bar, Lock Down Luke and Fortcanyon.
- Faithfulflyer13/2
- Crossing The Bar10/1
- Lock Down Luke13/2
