Unreliable sort who has been out of sorts in recent months. Others are more persuasive.

7/2
Landed back-to-back chase wins last winter and opened his account for this season with a career best at Hexham. Good second there since and should go well again.

More miss than hit overall often finding little. Becoming well handicapped at least and has run well here before.

14/1
Generally struggled since off the mark at Newcastle (16.3f, heavy) in February 2024 but made a satisfactory return after 11 months off when third at Newcastle 18 days ago, giving best only to an improver and one with a fitness edge. Player if building on that.

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when striking at Market Rasen in April 2024. Below par thereafter, though, and well held both starts this season after a long absence.

4/6
Left previous form well behind when making a winning chase/stable debut over C&D 18 days ago and can defy a 5 lb rise with further improvement likely.

Gained a third success over fences here in March 2024 but just one effort of note since and she is generally worth taking on.

Forecasts

Livy's Lad (4/6), We Got Your Back (7/2), Flash In The Park (5/1), Take Centre Stage (14/1), Glajou (20/1), Chateau Du Lys (28/1), Zara's Universe (40/1), Texard (66/1)

Verdict

LIVY'S LAD had been beaten out of sight on all 4 starts over hurdles for Tim Vaughan but proved a totally different proposition when making a winning chase bow over C&D on first start for this yard on return and he's taken to defy a 5 lb rise. We Got Your Back arrives at the top of his game and is the obvious threat.
