TIMEFORM VIEW Useful stayer on Flat and has finally come good over hurdles over late, winning maiden/novices at Stratford in late-summer. Just as good when second in Worcester handicap latest. The one to beat. TFRHHHHH BHA122

TIMEFORM VIEW Bumper winner in Ireland last autumn for Tom Taaffe. Ran poorly at Limerick when last seen in March but retains potential now hurdling for a new yard after a break. Keep an eye on in betting. TFRHHHII BHA-
