Made the frame all 5 starts for previous connections this year, latest when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 46 days ago. Remains fairly treated and could be a player on debut for new yard here.
|
Down in the weights and back to form with a bang to win 2m handicaps at Warwick and over C&D earlier this summer. Not disgraced in hat-trick bid at Southwell since and likely to make presence felt.
|
Fairly useful winner on Flat who made frame for the third time in this sphere when second of 10 in novice over C&D (good) 68 days ago. Returns to handicaps now and holds solid claims.
|
Posted encouraging third on hurdles bow at Plumpton in February. Not really built on that since but remains low mileage and may do better now sent handicapping.
|
Dual hurdles/chase winner who disappointed in 3 starts last year but shaped encouragingly on back of 8 months off when fourth in C&D handicap in June. However, wasn't in same form here last month and has something to prove now.
|
Scored for second time over this C&D when landing handicap in June but well held both starts since and has work to do off current mark.
|
Back to winning ways over fences at Market Rasen in June and ran to similar level when second of 8 in handicap chase (6/1) at Perth (16f, good to soft) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Back over smaller obstacles now and others more appealing.
|
Won at fourth time of asking over hurdles in 4-runner Fakenham maiden in June but finished well held in C&D handicap last time and looks on a stiff mark at present. Tongue strap on first time.
|
Acquitted himself well over timber this summer, latest when third of 8 in handicap over C&D (good) 21 days ago. 1 lb lower now and not taken lightly.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who put a disappointing handicap debut behind him when good fourth of 14 at Plumpton (15.9f, good to firm) in May. This looks tougher but he merits consideration. Had wind operation.
|
Caused an upset in 4-runner juvenile event at Huntingdon in October but rather gone backwards since and offered little on return from 6-month absence on Flat recently.
|
Three-time winner in this sphere for Nicky Henderson (including over C&D) but ended time with that yard below par and has continued in the same vein for current stable.

Forecasts
Coolnaugh Haze (6/4), Tedwin Hills (11/2), Kenzai Warrior (6/1), Painless Potter (9/1), Hiconic (10/1), State Of Bliss (12/1), Restandbethankful (12/1), Mix Of Clover (18/1), No Recollection (22/1), Jack The Savage (25/1), Anger Management (40/1), Chasamax (80/1)
Preference is for KENZAI WARRIOR, who was a solid second here in June and returns to handicap company on a fair mark. Painless Potter and Coolnaugh Haze can also make their presence felt.
