Soundly beaten after racing too freely last month; good claims on earlier form, though

Has become very unreliable, but this dual C&D winner is well handicapped; can't rule out

Kept on well for second here (2m4f) on last month's chasing debut; up in trip today

Stopped the rot when second at Huntingdon last month; contender if in right mood again

Ex-Irish maiden who was pulled up on last month's stable debut; difficult to enthuse over

Seems badly to have lost his way; big leap of faith required to support him at present

Ran big race in a hunter chase two starts ago but his overall profile is very unconvincing

Started off for stable with three underwhelming hurdle runs in late 2022; back from break
