Secure My Future (SMF) Handicap Hurdle

Not seen since falling on chase debut in May but ended last season in good form, most notably when winning at Warwick (3m2f, good); also has a Plumpton win on his CV; major player if fully tuned up after break.

Three hurdle wins since cheekpieces were added in April (2m1f-2m4f, good); didn't fire at Worcester last month but is quickly back on a workable mark and could plausibly have untapped potential over staying trips.

Returned from layoff with good seconds at Warwick (3m2f, good) and Worcester (2m7f, good) in June/July, and rebounded from a lesser effort when fourth at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; contender if aided by first-time cheekpieces here.

Made all at favourite track Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in April but absent since running poorly there a few days later and too inconsistent to rely upon nowadays.

Unplaced all six hurdle starts for Micky Hammond last season and tailed off for new stable at Stratford (2m, good to firm; tongue-tie added) last month; needs this much longer trip to show her in a much better light.
