Wacky Weekender Festival Pitchcroft 21st-23rd July Handicap Hurdle

Winning novice hurdler for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland in summer 2021. Failed to land a blow on both outings for Christian Williams later that year and not a great deal of encouragement on return from long absence on debut for current yard at Perth.

First run since leaving Jonjo O'Neill when 15/2, improved to win 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good to firm) 24 days ago, kept up to work. Remains well treated on old form, so one to consider.

Not the easiest to trust but has been in good form lately, completing a double at Ffos Las 20 days ago. Showed a good attitude that day and is likely to go well in his hat-trick bid.

Fair handicap hurdler who returned from a long absence with a tame display at this course 25 days ago. Might strip fitter for it and this distance is more suitable.

14/1, back to form when 8-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 8 days ago, suited by way race developed. Seemed to have a bit in hand but that came on the back of an absence and a quick turnaround doesn't look ideal.

9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good) 25 days ago. Has found some consistency of late and seems likely to go well again.

No impact in bumpers or a trio of novice hurdles (unseated on handicap debut at Newton Abbot last time). Others make more appeal.

Won here in summer of 2021 but has offered little since and is best watched from out of the handicap.
