Steadily progressive first 3 runs over hurdles prior to pulling up under more testing conditions than previously on handicap debut at Uttoxeter in December. Has had a breathing operation since.
|
Modest if quirky staying handicapper on Flat, good second at Pontefract latest. Has shown similar form over hurdles, producing best effort to date in this sphere when runner-up to a thriving one at Huntingdon (19.6f) in March. Another good run looks assured if seeing out the longer trip.
|
Course winner who again ran poorly when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (23.7f, good) 28 days ago, left behind from 4 out.
|
Shaped with a bit of promise in Ireland for Eoin Doyle, but has offered little in 3 starts for current yard, tailing off after 3 out at Catterick latest.
|
Modest maiden hurdler who was again below form when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, good) 46 days ago. On the upside, he's been eased a further 2 lb.
|
Produced a career best when taking 16-runner C&D handicap in December. Up 9 lb and not in the same form at Catterick next time but could easily bounce back to form after a break.
|
Maiden who showed some promise tried tongue tied when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) in October, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Mark Walford. Had breathing op.
|
Yet to show any worthwhile form since joining present yard, finishing a well-held fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) on most recent outing.
|
Poor maiden who had the run of the race when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (25f, good, 12/1) 25 days ago. Looks set for another struggle from 4 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts
Tarbat Ness (7/2), Express Run (9/2), Dreamings Free (11/2), Tees Comp's Clive (6/1), Iturgeon Du Breuil (13/2), Mademewhatiam (15/2), Robert d'Ores (9/1), Blame Rose (12/1), King Casey (33/1)
ROBERT D'ORES proved a disappointment at Catterick on New Year's Day, but is well worth another chance back from a break having hammered a next-time-out winner over C&D on his penultimate outing. Tarbat Ness looks sure to go well again if seeing out the longer trip, while Tees Comp's Clive continues to ease in the weights.
