Consistency an issue but placed in two of his last four starts; promise in one AW run

C&D winner; comes here in good form and should give his running once again

Two AW wins at other tracks; good 2nd at Kempton latest; another to consider in open race

Has run well here in the past and comes here in good order; each-way claims

Slow starter; good record on AW and the return to this surface is in his favour

Not hit top gear this year but latest start was better than 8th place suggests; considered
2 (5)	Moliwood Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Dylan Cunha	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Dylan Cunha	139	—	66400-	84	97	-	397d	—	—	+3	10.7	2.50/1	11 9%
On handy mark and conditions should suit but back from layoff with usual headgear absent
4 (9)	Lucky's Dream Chestnut J:Stefano Cherchi T:B F Brookhouse	J:Stefano Cherchi T:B F Brookhouse	138	t	324647	83	90	80	—	—	—	+3	11.8	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Excuses on last two starts and earlier Newcastle 4th was encouraging; not discounted

Hurdle win in May but horribly out of sorts under both codes since; good jockey booking
