Sunday Lunch At Western House Hotel Handicap Hurdle (Go North Cab On Target Series Qualifier)

Won twice over 2m4f at Hexham last season (soft/good to soft) and built upon his reappearance run when second here (2m3f, heavy) in first-time cheekpieces last month; likely contender again.

Won twice (once over C&D) on heavy ground in early 2024 but lightly raced since and has looked out of sorts on both outings this season; cheekpieces removed after one use; revival needed.

Came good for Dan Skelton at ninth attempt, with 7l success over fences at Worcester (2m4f, good) in summer 2024; reverts to hurdling for new stable after long absence and the slower ground is probably not ideal.

Creditable second of 14 here (2m3f, soft) on seasonal/stable debut in November; big player if judged on that performance but wasn't in same form at Carlisle last month and is now 0-8 over hurdles.

Ended last season in poor form over fences and was towards rear throughout when back over hurdles last month; might have needed that recent run but still has quite a bit to prove.
