Matched his previous best form when fourth in a Grade 2 latest; that sets the standard.

French 1m4f winner (soft) when last seen 21 months ago; jumps winners in near family.

Beaten under 1l at Uttoxeter latest (2m, heavy); live claims if there's more improvement.

Eyecatching 14l fourth on Hereford debut, and will be more streetwise this time.

C&D maiden third of hurdling debut not built on latest; maybe one for handicaps soon.

Beaten favourite in two 2m4f maiden points (good); drop in trip makes sense; rules debut.

Bare details of last-time Sandown second disguise a 55l defeat; others persuade more.

Gifted soft lead for bumper win; need to forgive high head carriage of hurdling debut.

Near-miss in Carlisle Flat handicap in July (2m1f, soft) but below par since; hurdles bow.
3	Dino Moon Bay J:Conor Ring T:Evan Williams	J:Conor Ring T:Evan Williams	162	—	67	-	47	-	14d	—	—	-1	0.3	100.00/1	400/1 0%
Last of six on bumper debut and struggling a long way out switched to hurdles latest.
