Never dangerous in big field at Ascot latest; possibilities if strong in the market

On an upward curve over longer trips but this reduced stamina test is a nagging worry

Peak efforts earlier in career were over 2m4f+, so he looks interesting back up in trip

Won for Murray Dodd at Hereford; they were beaten a nose at Wetherby (2m4f) on Boxing Day

Reverts to hurdling off what should be a competitive mark if he's on song
13	Through The Ages Bay J:Caoilin Quinn T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Caoilin Quinn T:Gary & Josh Moore	157	—	84-75P	108	118	88	52d	—	—	+9	16.7	12/1 8%
11lb lower than on handicap debut, having started off a tough mark; case can be made

2m5f win at Kempton (soft) in February was last season's clear highlight; 6lb higher today
1	Teorie Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	164	p	14103-	115	116	99	—	—	—	+23	27.6	22/1 4%
Tailed off Flat latest; wind op since; needs improvement but new trip could be interesting
15	Royal King Grey J:Mr Jack Andrews(3) T:T Ellis	J:Mr Jack Andrews(3) T:T Ellis	156	—	-5F420	107	116	71	27d	—	—	+14	18.7	22/1 4%
The step back up in trip might help but he needs marked improvement; others preferred
7	Windsurfer Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Ben Case	J:Jack Quinlan T:Ben Case	161	—	7-3146	112	115	100	41d	—	—	+12	16.7	22/1 4%
Moving up to an extended 2m3f for handicap debut at Doncaster did not work out; early days

Weakened late on in both her starts this winter; will probably return to form before long
9	Colonial Empire Bay J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	J:Alan Johns T:Tim Vaughan	159	—	1/037-	110	119	92	409d	—	—	+20	22.6	50/1 2%

Ended his time for old yard on a low note; has not revived in two runs for new connections
NR	Jubilant Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:James Owen	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:James Owen	157	—	1-233P	108	111	69	46d	—	—	—	21.5	—
Perhaps soft ground was to blame when he flopped as favourite over C&D on handicap debut
