Celebrate With Sponsorship At Southwell Racecourse Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Landed a chase at Newton Abbot (3¼m) on penultimate start for Skeltons. Step back in the right direction when 17½ lengths fifth in Chepstow handicap hurdle before facing a stiff task over fences last time. Has a lazy streak and it's hard to be confident back hurdling.

Low mileage 6-y-o who doubled her tally on reappearance at Sedgefield (21f) this time last year. Not seen to best effect when well-backed third (beaten 4 lengths after being snatched up) at Cartmel in May (25f). Unexposed as a stayer and fancied to resume winning ways back down in class.

Ex-Irish recruit. Sold out of Olly Murphy's yard for only £8,500 after overcoming a pace bias to complete a double over C&D. May well have landed the hat-trick with a cleaner jump at the last on stable debut at Hexham (23f) 7 days ago. Can go well again off same mark (due to go up 3 lb).

Often let down by his jumping after scoring over fences off 1 lb higher in the spring. Return to hurdling did the trick when length second at Market Rasen 7 weeks ago. Ought to go with more fluency in refitted cheekpieces and could get his own way in front.

Rejuvenated in blinkers of late. Completed a handicap hurdle double over C&D before runner-up twice over fences, showing no ill-effects from a hard race (flattered to deceive) when beaten 2¾ lengths in 4-runner race at Sedgefield latest. May find a couple too strong at the finish back over hurdles.

Lightly raced for his age (seemingly hard to train). Gone wrong way since justifying support on debut at Carlisle (19f) last spring. Little sign of capitalising on free-falling mark this summer. Off 10 weeks and hopes of revival pinned on breathing operation/another change of headgear.
