Bettered previous efforts when third in 17f Sedgefield novice hurdle on final run of 2018/19 campaign. However, missed whole of last season and well held on recent comeback/handicap bow at Wetherby.
|
Raised his game when making a winning reappearance over C&D (heavy) last month. This 7 lb higher mark demands another personal best, but further progress is a distinct possibility.
|
No serious impact in bumpers and novice hurdles, and failed to complete switched to handicaps on final 2 runs of last season.
|
Well below par in handful of appearances last term, but he's well-handicapped on his form for Gordon Elliott and caught the eye when returning to action at Chepstow (19.4f, soft). One to consider.
|
Second twice over hurdles in France, but yet to reproduce that level of form on this side of the Channel and reappearance here last month was poor.
|
Belatedly added to first success under Rules back in 2015 when scoring at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) on latest start in March. 6 lb rise tolerable, but record when fresh doesn't augur well.
|
Easily best effort to date when runner-up in a mares' novice at Market Rasen (20.6f) in July (final start for Henry Daly). However, no show in 3 subsequent starts for new connections.
|
Has merely hinted at ability in novice events here and at Sedgefield, and needs to take a significant step forward now moving into handicap company.
|
Has looked pretty limited in various company and he's another who will need to improve markedly now pitched into a handicap.
|
Improved display on second start in cheekpieces when making all in a weak 6-runner Kelso handicap (20.9f, heavy) on final run of last season. More needed up 7 lb on this seasonal reappearance.
|
Successful on Irish point debut in January, but down the field on each of his 4 starts in this sphere, including on C&D handicap bow in September.
|
Successful over fences here off 1 lb higher mark last December, but he's 0-31 in this sphere and is likely to find a few too good.
|
Veteran who brought the curtain down on a long losing run when scoring over C&D (heavy) last month. 3 lb rise fair enough, but only 3 of the 14 that set out that day completed.
|
Sizeable step forward when runner-up in a Newcastle novice in April 2018, but has since failed to make an impact in handicaps and makes debut for new yard here following a 20-month absence.
|
First piece of worthwhile form when third of 13 off this mark here in September. Each-way chance of able to build on that.

There were positives to glean from COLD SHOULDER's reappearance display at Chepstow and he is worth chancing in an open-looking contest. Dequall has to be feared given that he is comparatively unexposed and proved his well-being with a C&D success last month, while Saint Jude should be in the mix if building on his latest effort here.
