Thrived over hurdles this spring, making it 3 wins in decisive fashion at Fakenham. Ran no sort of race at Ludlow on return, however, and not an obvious chasing type.

Still to get his head in front but often in the frame. Poor effort when last seen in June but type to bounce back.

Failed to strike in 15 attempts over hurdles but made first start over fences a winning one at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago, the change of discipline evidently doing something for him. Should go well again.

Point winner who has displayed some promise over hurdles and shaped well when third at Ayr on chase bow, left with a lot to do and not knocked about. Likely to build on that and needs considering.

Uninspiring record over hurdles but is a winning pointer and better for chase debut when third at Ludlow despite seemed unsuited by track. May do better again back at left-handed course. Headgear on.

Poor form over hurdles last term. However, was in the process of showing much-improved form on chase debut when departing at the last at Catterick on return (booked for second). 3 lb out of weights.

MELANAMIX was given a considerate introduction to chasing when a promising third on her chase bow at Ayr and she gets the vote with improvement forthcoming. Whitechurch was a good third at Ludlow 3 weeks ago despite seeming unsuited by the right-handed track so may do better again going the other way around, while Balranald looked suited by the switch to fences when scoring at Sedgefield.
