Won a 1m7f French race at Maisons-Laffitte on soft ground towards the end of last season. Disappointing hurdles bow (favourite) at Bangor in June and well held one Flat run since a wind op. Should be better in time.
Has the ability to get involved but was badly out of sorts for previous trainer. Need change of scenery to work oracle, with positive jockey booking a plus.
Found only short-price favourite too strong on hurdles bow at Southwell in June over 2m4f. Well clear of the rest and leading claims of going one better.
Couple of solid efforts in bumpers at Newton Abbot so far, goes jumping for the first time now and possible improver.

Alan King runs a pair here and WHENHELLBROKELOOSE looks the pick on his Southwell second in June behind a promising rivals (pair were clear). He should be able to go one better now, with improvement likely. Ffos Las runner-up Norwegian Woods can be a danger, with Mix Of Clover sure to do better if he can settle early on.
