Won a 12f handicap here in January and went close again on his next 2 starts. Unsuited by the combination of drop in trip and steady gallop at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on most recent outing, so worth treating as if still in good form.
|
Improved again when getting off the mark at Chelmsford (13f handicap, 4/1) in January, doing well to come from the rear and edge out the favourite given the modest early fractions. That form is working out well and a 4 lb higher mark could well underestimate him.
|
Right back in the groove when landing back-to-back wins here and at Southwell this winter but has found it tougher since upped to this grade.
|
Went with little promise in a pair of Huntingdon handicap hurdles in the autumn but much better signs since returned to this code, including when fifth of 9 in handicap (16.6f) at Wolverhampton (4/1) on most recent outing.
|
Fairly useful maiden who shaped as if better for the run on first outing since leaving Charlie Fellowes after 4 months off at Newcastle last month, tiring late after being better positioned than most turning for home. Steps back up in trip with headgear reapplied.
|
Landed a Newbury handicap last July, but was never going faced with contrasting conditions at Ffos Las next time and failed to impress with his head carriage at Kempton on most recent outing.
|
Ran well to go close back on all-weather here (10f) in September but wasn't in the same form at Wolverhampton on final outing that year. Often races freely and bit concerning that hood is left off stepping up in trip on first run for new yard (formerly trained by Alice Haynes).
|
Has been well held all 3 starts over hurdles this season so has plenty to prove making a belated return to this code (last seen on the Flat in March 2024).
|
Bounced back to form after a couple of lesser displays to get off the mark on the Flat at Southwell (14.1f) in January. Ran creditably under a penalty at Wolverhampton 5 days later and not seen to best effect there on most recent outing.
|
Justified strong support when resuming winning ways in 12-runner handicap at this course (11/4) on most recent outing, helped by the way the race developed. Likely to remain competitive from a 4 lb higher mark.
|
Possibly needed the run following an 8-week break when sixth of 9 in a handicap over 17f at Wolverhampton (25/1) latest, racing freely and weakening final 1f. Back down in trip and refitted with cheekpieces.
|
Has offered little both starts back from 9 months off and looks set for another struggle unless the market was to strongly suggest otherwise.

Forecasts
Relocal (9/4), Hebridean Nomad (3/1), Charlie's Choice (7/2), Sword Of Wessex (5/1), Tortured Soul (10/1), Market House (14/1), Prince Quattro (22/1), Green Team (28/1), Risen Again (33/1), Haaland (40/1), Lusaka (50/1), Green Sky (100/1)
RELOCAL did well to come from the rear in a modestly-run affair last time and a 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow-up on that evidence. Charlie's Choice will prove suited by the return to this sort of trip and has to enter calculations back down in grade, while recent course scorer Hebridean Nomad ought to be competitive again.
