Yet to get his head in front but was going great guns when departing at the fourth last over C&D last month. Decent fourth at Exeter since (5½ lengths behind Flash Gorcombe, 3 lb better off now) and should be in the mix again back down in class.
|
Back-to-back winner last spring and looked better than ever when routing the opposition over C&D last month. Good third at Exeter since and remains of strong interest back down in class.
|
Point winner who showed promise over hurdles last term for Milton Harris. Off 8 months before posting an encouraging fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 58 days ago. Open to significant improvement back down in class.
|
On a good mark judged on peak form over hurdles but he again struggled in this sphere when pulled up at Exeter last month.
|
Sole success from 23 starts overall came in a handicap hurdle at Taunton back in March 2021. However, she was placed twice off higher marks than this over fences last spring and she stepped up on her reappearance spin over hurdles when fourth at Taunton 3 weeks ago.
|
Point winner who was placed in a series of handicap hurdles at around 2½m in 2022 and all the better for belated return when runner-up at Taunton on chase bow 3 weeks ago under this rider. Entitled to come on again and not taken lightly.
|
Well held in 3 outings back from a long absence last winter and no encouragement this term. Headgear on for chase debut.
|
Hasn't shown much in 8 runs in this sphere so easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Moytier (9/4), Flash Gorcombe (11/4), Belgarum (5/1), Royal Sam (11/2), Poet's Reflection (11/1), Sevenofus (12/1), Noah's Light (18/1), Mr Sociable (33/1)
It could be worth chancing ROYAL SAM, who showed an aptitude for chasing until the rise in class and possibly lack of fitness told on return/yard debut at Exeter. Flash Gorcombe and Moytier are closely matched on their latest run at Exeter and they head the dangers.
