Won twice at a lower level last season but has a patchy record over Flat and Jumps of late. Takes a slight ease in class back over timber but others more persuasive.
|
A fair winning hurdler at Carlisle but ended last season out of form. Slow start to this campaign but below last winning mark and much more like it when third in a 2m contest here a month ago. One to consider back up in trip with blinkers back on.
|
Fair hurdler who posted a solid third of 10 in novice at Southwell (20.4f, good) in June. In nothing like the same form at Hexham 3 weeks later and off since.
|
Well held in a bumper for Mark Walford but off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Sedgefield in November (16.8f). Shade too keen to last out over 19.9f back there a fortnight later but right back on his game returned to 2m when second at Wetherby a month ago. Needs to learn to settle.
|
Pulled up first 3 starts in handicaps but different proposition switched to front-running tactics, completing hat-trick at Market Rasen in November. Heavy defeat from revised mark at Sedgefield on Boxing Day so bounce back called for.
|
Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in April and, following a 7-month break, he shaped well when third of 8 in novice at Market Rasen on hurdles bow. Jumping has lacked fluency both starts since but he retains potential in handicaps over this sort of trip.
|
Best effort in handicap hurdles in the spring when third of 6 over 3m at Kelso in May. Fitted with a tongue strap but reportedly made a noise on return in September and has had another breathing operation.
|
Multiple winning pointer but just a modest maiden hurdler. Did step up on return to action when second of 10 at Wetherby on Boxing Day and he can remain competitive.

Forecasts
Abbey Scope (9/4), Wise Move (7/2), Avalon Beach (11/2), Devon Skies (6/1), Byron Hill (8/1), Express Run (10/1), Maggies Boy (12/1), Achnamara (16/1)
ABBEY SCOPE could do with brushing up his jumping but he's well treated from this opening mark given he managed to win a bumper so he could be the answer with this trip sure to suit. Byron Hill looks a solid rival, while Devon Skies had a productive autumn and is likely to bounce back from a heavy defeat.
