Bettered his hurdling form right away when making a successful debut over fences at Cartmel in July but struggled in tougher race there following month. Back over hurdles now after a break.

Isle Of Sark (G)
[TB]
Reacted well to a visor when winning Sedgefield handicap hurdle in October on second outing for Mickey Bowen. Good second at Ffos Las next time but struggled back chasing since. Return to hurdles a plus. Change of headgear.

As Fast As Wind (M)
Opened account on level this summer and posted her best effort in this sphere when scoring at Kempton last month. Not in same form in claimer since but remains on a good fair mark back in a handicap starting out for new yard.

Avalon Beach (G)
Well held in a Wetherby bumper for Mark Walford but better with each run over hurdles for current yard, winning maiden here (2m) 18 days ago. Should prove as effective at 2½m+ and needs considering on handicap bow.
