Gamble Plant Norfolk Ltd Handicap Hurdle

Gained three of his five hurdle wins here (all were over 2m); back on a workable mark now but has mixed record this season and is yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 2m4f; regular rider Charlie Hammond partners stablemate Kelijoe today.

Unexposed 5yo who won small-field C&D (good) maiden on British debut in October and rebounded from lesser effort with good second on handicap debut at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by the return to this track; respected.

Won C&D maiden on stable/hurdle debut just under a year ago and probably bettered that performance when close second over C&D (also on good ground) a few weeks later; not quite in same form in handicaps elsewhere in the spring and has fitness to prove after seven-month break but that good course form is a big selling point; wore cheekpieces last time; visor tried today.

Made all on consecutive outings last spring, latterly off today's mark at Warwick (2m, good); returned from break with three down-the-field runs in the autumn but combination of better ground and first-time visor may prompt a better performance here.

Seven-time hurdle winner (2m-2m4f, always on good ground); returned from break with respectable AW run last month and reverts to hurdling on a workable mark but has never run here before and is too inconsistent to rely upon heavily nowadays.
