Has returned much improved this term, winning 2m handicap/novice events in soft ground at Chepstow. Worked up beforehand and never a factor in the Betfair Hurdle latest and retains potential back up in trip.
Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Well held on third run for this yard at Chepstow (2m, heavy) 10 days ago but previous efforts were more encouraging and he's on a tempting mark.
Has improved back from a long absence, scoring again in Uttoxeter handicap over this trip last month, showing plenty of resolution in the testing conditions to get on top late in the day. Good chance again up 4 lb.
Showed fair form when runner-up in a pair of minor events at Toulouse last spring but little impact in 2 runs over here for new connections, including in Wetherby handicap latest. Down 4 lb. Probably has a bigger effort in him.

Forecasts
Ito Ditto (11/10), Wolfspear (2/1), Bataillon (5/1), In From The Cold (9/1)
WOLFSPEAR proved all heart under Oliver Boyden as he resumed winning ways on heavy ground at Uttoxeter last month. They can go in again if in the same form up 4 lb. Ito Ditto with his sights lowered might be the danger.
