Dropped out as though something was amiss last time but was 3-3 over fences beforehand

Won here in new headgear last month but is far too inconsistent to rely upon

Won four-runner race off much reduced mark in June but younger rivals appeal more here
7	Boom Boom Bay J:Robert Dunne T:Rob Summers	J:Robert Dunne T:Rob Summers	156	t	FP-311	88	106	77	38d	—	—	+1	12.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
On a hat-trick after two Stratford wins; must be considered in current mood

Flopped when odds-on last time but won easily two starts ago; still unexposed over fences

0-16 over hurdles and absent since pulled up twice at start of this year; chase debut
1	Nevendon Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Alexandra Dunn	J:Adam Wedge T:Alexandra Dunn	168	tp	123-53	100	108	93	47d	—	—	+8	14.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Not very consistent but ran okay last month and is on a workable mark; a possible

Shock C&D winner in early part of last season but not the percentage call today
3	Jaitroplaclasse Bay J:Charlie Price(3) T:Robbie Llewellyn	J:Charlie Price(3) T:Robbie Llewellyn	166	t	034-24	98	104	70	78d	—	—	+8	13.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Safely held last time and now 0-10 but earlier Bangor second gives him a fighting chance

C&D winner; recent hurdle run was quite encouraging and he reverts to chasing on good mark

Disappointing for current stable since December and needs to turn a corner
