Flowfit Handicap Hurdle

Went in snatches again when fourth of 9 on 2m Warwick reappearance (2m, good) 3 weeks ago. On a good mark but he'll probably need to travel with more fluency if he's to take advantage.

Runner-up on her sole Irish point. Steadily progressive form in bumpers and reached the frame in maiden/novice events at Newton Abbot and Stratford switched to hurdles in the summer. Makes handicap debut back from 134 days off. Unexposed.

Won a Taunton handicap hurdle for Thomas Gallagher last December but has been underwhelming since, including well beaten on both starts for Fergal O'Brien. Could click for this yard at some point but can only be watched for now.

Lightly-raced 5-y-o who has improved in recent weeks, finishing second then first in 2m handicaps at Uttoxeter (both good to soft). A 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him for last year's winning yard.

Modest form at best over hurdles, failing to build on reappearance when down the field here 32 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

Failed to complete both starts in points and only poor form over hurdles, making no impact on Ffos Las handicap debut 15 days ago. Still early days but hard to make a case for.

Runner-up completed start in points but has shown little in 4 hurdles starts, including Stratford handicap debut and reappearance 37 days ago.
