St Leger Form Study On attheraces.com Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Fairly useful ex-Irish Flat winner and landed 2m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen in July. Very good second there later that month and easy to excuse latest run over 20.2f given he shaped like a non-stayer. Form pick back in trip.

Confirmed his return to form in running away with a weak maiden at Market Rasen last month, going with enthusiasm and in command a long way out. Brushed aside in a better race under a penalty since.

Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and stepped up on low-key hurdles debut when landing a 9-runner novice at Worcester in May. Failed to land a blow when last of 3 at Stratford 3 weeks later.

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who improved again when landing 9-runner maiden at Stratford in July. Ran a shocker at Market Rasen since but he's in the right hands to bounce back in,

Made the most of a good opportunity when off the mark in 2m novice at Worcester in June. Sound runner-up efforts since and she's likely to be bang there again.

Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), won at Catterick in July, creditable effort last time. Regular rider retained and showed some aptitude for hurdling at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago.

Off mark in points at third attempt (May 7) but low-key start under Rules.

Poor maiden on Flat (stays 8.5f) and unseated rider early on hurdles debut.
