QuinnBet Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Made all to record a fourth course success (19f) in late-May. Couldn't capitalise on soft lead when beaten 1½ lengths here (2m) prior to finding his run of good form coming to a halt over C&D latest. No surprise to see a bounce back if allowed to dictate in a weaker race.

Another success story for excellent yard, just coming up short on his hat-trick bid at Market Rasen (19f) in August. That form has worked out well and he remains in good heart, typically requiring plenty of driving when runner-up on the Flat at Pontefract latest. Leading claims back hurdling.

Won a C&D novice last May before following up on chasing debut at Hexham. Now 5 lb below that winning mark following another temperamental display at Uttoxeter (2½m). C&D record at least offers some hope that she can capitalise.

Made more impact than previously (despite going with little fluency) when 2½-length second of 4 at Huntingdon (25f) in May. Undone by a poor round of jumping at Fontwell (3¼m) the following month. Remains on a much-reduced mark, however, the drop back in trip isn't guaranteed to suit on return.
