Left Nick Littmoden's yard last October and has shown improved form since, including when fourth at this course and distance. First of 11 in handicap at Lingfield over 12f (11/1) 36 days ago to get off the mark, seen to better effect than market leaders and always just holding on. Up 3lb and back up in trip.
|
Opened account at Wolverhampton in December and has run well in defeat twice since. Second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (4/1) 16 days ago, travelled smoothly and closed down leader 1f out but no extra late on, pulled clear of rest. Continues in good heart.
|
Won last October before finishing lame in December but wasted no time getting back on track when second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (18/1) 6 days ago, seen to maximum effect in a race above his usual level. Returns quickly and can make his presence felt.
|
Showed modest form in Flat handicaps last year but little over hurdles. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7/1) 10 days ago, possibly needing the run in first-time cheekpieces. Needs to show more.
|
Stringing some form together and dangerously well treated having tumbled in weights. Third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11/4 fav) 22 days ago, slowly into stride but kept on well late. Looks ready to end 21-race losing run. Blinkers back on.
|
Modest performer without a win in 27 races, tailed off seventh of 14 on hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (125/1) 15 days ago. Last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (25/1) 48 days ago when dropping away quickly. Difficult to make a case.
|
Has shown little in recent starts, including poor efforts over hurdles. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (100/1) 3 days ago, went with no encouragement in rear and never landed a blow. Plenty to prove.

Forecasts
Tuba (6/5), The Craftymaster (3/1), Mio Amico (9/2), Sneaky Blinder (9/2), Burano Murano (25/1), Corsican Caper (28/1), Apache Eagle (50/1)
THE CRAFTYMASTER is stringing some form together at a time when he's dangerously well treated having tumbled in the weights and he looks ready to end his long losing run. Tuba continues in good heart having travelled smoothly when second at Southwell 16 days ago and he's feared most. Sneaky Blinder wasted no time getting back on track at Wolverhampton and can make his presence felt returning quickly.
