Returned to winning ways here (16f) in October and backed that up with good third at Southwell. Since gone close over hurdles at Plumpton and looks a big player here.

C&D winner. 11/4, below form fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 147 days ago. Off 147 days. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Others preferred.

10/3

Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 9/2) 72 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Since joined James Owen and is worth monitoring in market on yard debut.

Forecasts

Sullivan Bay (11/4), Arc Zoosve (3/1), Carlton (10/3), Arch Legend (9/2), Shaad (17/2), Dame Sarra (12/1), Luna Effect (12/1), Dubai Immo (14/1), Two Plus Two (22/1), Hidden Pearl (66/1)

Preference is for SULLIVAN BAY, who has been in good form on the level and over hurdles. He remains on a workable mark. Arc Zoosve and Shaad can also make their presence felt.
