Completed a four-timer over shorter in 2021 (3 wins here) but never got going last term. On a good mark if returning at his best but might need the run over the furthest trip he's tackled.

Unpredictable but put it all together to add to his tally at Bangor (23f) last summer. On a career-low mark on his return but anyone's guess as to which version of him will show up.

Won Hexham novice and 3m Musselburgh staying handicap hurdle last season. Continued the good work with a front-running third at Kelso 3 weeks ago and not dismissed.

Good record at Sedgefield and resumed winning ways for his first success away from there for Ben Haslam in similar event at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Bit more needed up 4 lb now.

Capitalised on sliding mark at Wetherby (19.7f) in February. Disappointing in this grade at Ludlow 3 weeks ago though and steps up in trip now.

Hasn't made much of an impact in handicaps for this yard but dropping in the weights all the while. First go over this trip.

Back to form with a bang for new stable when winning 21f Wetherby handicap hurdle last month and shaped well over extended 3m in competitive Ayr contest next time. Can go well back down in trip/class.

Forecasts

Curley Finger (3/1), City Derby (10/3), Thatbeatsbanagher (10/3), Our Laura B (10/3), Pyramid Place (9/2), Alqamar (9/1), Palm Beach (9/1), Blakeney Point (28/1)

Verdict

OUR LAURA B hasn't looked back since sent handicapping and could defy a 10 lb rise for her Newcastle romp if keeping up the good work. City Derby is feared most, ahead of Curley Finger.
