Produced much his best effort on these shores when second in a 6-runner Warwick maiden hurdle (19f, good to firm) in May. However, well held back in handicap company on return at Wincanton and he's opposable on this chase debut.
|
Dual hurdles winner at 18.5f last year, but not been in same form since and poor effort on sole completed start in this sphere to date.
|
Fair maiden over hurdles who offered some promise initially over fences, second in a 3-runner affair on chase debut at Leicester in February. Hasn't made much of an impact since, though, including back over hurdles the last twice.
|
Dual winner of 19.4f handicap chases for David Pipe at Ffos Las this year, the latest a decisive all-the-way success on good ground in June. Now 3 lb below that winning mark, but with good reason (well below par in 4 subsequent starts) and needs to get back on track for new yard here.
|
Sole success over hurdles came in a 3-runner Sedgefield novice last September, but she has failed to build on that since and performed to a poor level on last month's chase debut.
|
Showed fair form at best in 2 hurdle/chase starts in France, but he was struggling a long way out and eventually tailed off on recent British debut over hurdles at Newton Abbot.
|
Poor maiden hurdler and hopes firmly pinned on the switch to fences sparking significant improvement back from an 8-month absence.
|
Remains a maiden, but he is going the right way over fences, judged on his near miss in a handicap at Fontwell (17.8f, good) where he pulled well clear of the rest. 3 lb rise fair and likely to make a bold bid to go one better here.
|
Improved again when getting off the mark in handicap hurdle Fakenham last October, but that wasn't a particularly strong race and he signed off last season on a downer. Opposable on chase debut.
|
Failed to trouble the judge over hurdles and on first 2 starts in this sphere. However, better effort when third in a 9-runner Bangor handicap chase (17.4f, soft) on return last month and should be in the mix off the same mark here.

Pencil (3/1), Gone In Sixty (10/3), Extraordinary Man (11/2), Fanfan Du Seuil (13/2), Moytier (15/2), Cobbs Corner (8/1), Herecomeshogan (8/1), Abaya Du Mathan (11/1), Bertie's Bandana (11/1), Jukebox D'eddy (20/1), My Little Toni (28/1), Great Threat (66/1)
This looks like a good opportunity for GONE IN SIXTY, who went down narrowly at Fontwell last month, and a mere reproduction of that would probably be good enough to see him home in front here. Fanfan du Seuil has slipped to a dangerous mark and will be a threat if ready to roll back in this sphere following an 11-month absence, while Pencil is also accorded respect on the back of an improved effort at Bangor.
