TIMEFORM VIEW Grade 2 novice hurdle winner in 2020/21. Bit of a mixed record last term but his mark has edged down as a result and his stable has enjoyed a very good first half of the season. TFRHHHHH BHA129

TIMEFORM VIEW French recruit who was a promising third in a Worcester novice hurdle last autumn. Things didn’t go to plan subsequently (including 2 falls) but he returns as an unexposed sort from a top yard. Interesting to see how he goes in the betting. TFRHHHHI BHA127

TIMEFORM VIEW Largely consistent sort who deservedly got his head back in front at Warwick (19f, good) last month. Likely to remain competitive after a 4lb rise. TFRHHHII BHA123

TIMEFORM VIEW Winner of first 3 starts under Rules in 2019/20. Failed to kick on in handicaps in the 2020/21 season and has a 20-month absence to overcome. Has had wind surgery. Given a chance by the handicapper but betting probably the best guide to expectations. TFRHHIII BHA123

TIMEFORM VIEW All 4 hurdles wins at Fontwell, better than ever when edging out a next-time-out winner for latest success 5 weeks ago. Still looks well treated after a 4lb rise but needs to show he’s as effective away from Fontwell. TFRHHHHI BHA123
