Weatherbys Hamilton Handicap Hurdle

Four wins since joining this yard, the latest at Haydock (2m, soft) in December. Only a respectable fifth of 7 over 2m here last month and now steps up in trip.

Racked up a handicap hurdle hat-trick at the end of summer 2023 and also successful over fences at Worcester last September. Off since pulling up in a chase at Kelso in October but he has gone well fresh before and his stable is in form.

Returned to hurdles with a C&D win on New Year's Day but has posted laboured efforts at Sandown and Warwick since. A return to Fakenham needs to help spark a revival.

Course winner last season and produced one of her better efforts of the current campaign when third over 2m here 18 days ago, shaping as if this step back up in trip may suit.

Struck at the third time of asking for Stuart Edmunds when comfortably seeing off 5 rivals over C&D last month. A 6 lb rise may not stop a 5-y-o who is very much unexposed over this trip.
