Dual chase winner; third in his final chase and a good run over hurdles since then
10	Shadows In The Sky Brown J:Gavin Sheehan T:James Owen	J:Gavin Sheehan T:James Owen	144	p	122133	112	139	121	49d	—	—	+17	32.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
All good for James Owen over hurdles and fences; lurks off a low weight

For one who stays 3m2f he did well to make a winning chase debut over 2m1f here

3m5f winner here in May and would have found 2m5f too sharp on return visit

His second at Ayr in April gives him claims but he's wickedly inconsistent
1	Charlie Uberalles Chestnut J:Henry Brooke T:Dianne Sayer	J:Henry Brooke T:Dianne Sayer	168	—	PP-11P	136	138	122	37d	—	—	+15	24	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Excellent course record and not handicapped out of contention by any means
8	Lord Accord Bay J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Neil Mulholland	155	tp	23P-06	123	143	126	29d	—	—	+12	20.8	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Well handicapped but not at his best of late and was behind Olivers Travels at Uttoxeter
6	Stans The Man Bay J:Ben Godfrey T:Ella Pickard	J:Ben Godfrey T:Ella Pickard	158	tb	5-1138	126	140	124	57d	—	1W/1P 1 run	+14	21.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Paid the price for winning so well at Stratford in May and others look better treated.
