At $81.00 ran 8th last start in a hurdle at Chepstow. Will be positive in the run early. Can't entertain a bet.

Started at $11.00 and mediocre display when 5th last run at Newton Abbot but was on debut last time. Likely to settle back in the field. Will be facing a challenge.

First up after a 68 week break. Jumped at $26.00 and gave away some ground when 4th last run in a hurdle at Stratford but was a debutant last start. Others make far more appeal.
