Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Hasn't quite built on a promising bumper debut since going over hurdles, including in a couple of handicaps; however, his recent 17l third when attracting support at Wincanton (2m4f, good) was more encouraging; easing in the weights and one to consider in a modest contest.

Put in a bold bid from the front at Newton Abbot (extended 2m5f, good) last week before fading into a remote third late; remains on a tough mark and others have achieved more.

Encouraging second on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, heavy), but that form has taken some knocks and he's been well held twice since on quicker ground; on a competitive mark but needs to bounce back..

Well-bred 4yo who improved markedly switched to handicaps when a wide-margin winner at Exeter (extended 2m, good) five days ago; the manner of the win suggests there's more to come; faces a quick turnaround and stamina to prove up in trip, but he looks well treated under a penalty and is the one to beat.

1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement.
