Racing Again 9th February Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Fair ex-French hurdler who took a big step forward for his current yard after 10 months off when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.9f) in December. Made short work of a 4 lb rise at Sedgefield last weekend and looks up to completing the hat-trick under a 7 lb penalty.

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who produced best effort to date in a handicap just for the second time when runner-up at Carlisle (17f, soft) 47 days ago. Must enter calculations from a 1 lb lower mark.

Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser but has been tailed off on his last 2 starts. Plenty to prove.

Has shaped with some promise in a pair of juvenile hurdles and looks the type to improve now making a quick switch to handicap company.

Multiple winner on the Flat but hasn't cut much ice in 5 starts over hurdles. Improvement needed.
