Landed back-to-back handicap hurdles at Ayr (20.5f) back in February and best effort yet when close third over that track/trip in April. No short-term promise sent chasing after 5 months off when pulled up back at Ayr 13 days ago.
|
Chase/hurdles winner Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero earlier this year and made amends for a late mishap at Kelso when back on the scoresheet for present yard in 12-runner handicap at Ayr (20.5f, soft) 13 days ago, asserting run-in. Definite claims again up 4 lb.
|
Promising second in maiden hurdle a year ago but hasn't progressed, well held again on chase debut/return at Bangor 18 days ago. Blinkers quickly reached for.
|
Mixed record over hurdles since winning at Perth last summer but this winning Irish pointer took to chasing at the first attempt when winning at Hexham (20f) in June. Seemingly amiss back at that venue later that month and he could yet have more to offer in this sphere.
|
Found improvement to get off the mark over fences at Southwell in October but had fortune on his side (leader crashed out) when following up at Sedgefield (21.1f) later in the month. Ran well when runner-up here (23.4f) 15 days ago but revised mark demands even more now.
|
Placed on last 3 starts in handicap hurdles during the spring and justified strong support back from 7 months off when off the mark in a 7-runner handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f) on debut over fences 8 days ago. Did that in good style and he commands plenty of respect under a penalty.
|
Deservedly shed maiden tag over hurdles at Carlisle this time last year and largely consistent thereafter, ending last season with an excellent second at Ayr (24.3f) in March. No reason why he won't take to this discipline and considered for each-way purposes.
|
Modest maiden hurdler last season who shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off switched to chasing for new yard when sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Likely he can last longer this time and there ought to be better to come.
|
In the frame in maiden/novice hurdles but pulled up both starts in handicaps earlier this year, stopping very quickly in first-time blinkers at Ayr (24.3f) 8 months ago. Headgear discarded now chasing on return to action but percentage call to look elsewhere.
|
Course scorer who left previous chase exploits in his wake when scoring under a change of tactics at Hexham (20f) back in May. Not disgraced when sixth on reappearance run at Ayr (24.1f) 2 weeks ago and he's another holding each-way claims.

FAT HARRY justified strong support when breaking his duck on return/chase debut over slightly shorter at Sedgefield 8 days ago and, expected to do better again in this sphere, he's selected to follow up under a penalty. Fellow last-time-out scorer Too Cool Forshrule rates the obvious threat, with the returning Marty McFly and chase debutant Glory Hights next best.
