Signs 2000 Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Completed hat-trick in game fashion at Cartmel in August 2022. Off the track since so well-being has to be taken on trust. Usual cheekpieces off.

Improved when handicapping last season, including a 20.5f Newbury win on heavy ground in March. Too free on reappearance and finished tired in October. Given time to recover and better expected here for in-form yard.

Ffos Las winner a year ago and now 2 lb lower in the weights but a brace of heavy defeats since returning in October raises questions.

Consistent hurdler who made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in 6-runner novice hurdle at Hereford last month (walked over at Catterick). More on his plate switched to a handicap upped markedly in trip but he represents yard going really well.

Won over 2½m here a year ago and runner-up next 3 starts, he signed off last season with a C&D win (from Kruger Park) in April. Off since but fitness won't be an issue given yard he represents. Tongue tie back on.

Generally solid record over hurdles and got back on the up when seeing off an unexposed rival (pair clear) at Huntingdon (25f) in April. Good third at Ludlow final start last term but held back by jumping both outings this season.

Unseat at Doncaster in January aside, she's won all 4 handicap starts, latest in another big field at Chepstow a month ago. Hit with 10 lb rise but she was value for extra and is clearly thriving.

Bumper winner in early 2023 who reached a fair level over hurdles last term, creditable third with cheekpieces enlisted in 11-runner handicap at Wincanton (21.3f). Stable made a bright start to the campaign but this one looked in need of the run at Ascot last month. Visor on up in distance.
