Sun Art (G)
[T]
Ended last term with 2m Ludlow novice hurdle success, with the more positive ride and addition of the tongue strap seemingly positive factors. However, he hasn't kicked on again in a couple of runs this season and improvement needed now sw…

Moodofthemoment (G)
[P]
Returned to form when clinging on for a narrow success at Newcastle (2½m, good) on penultimate start, but merely underlined his unpredictable nature when subsequently pulled up over the same C&D.

Flamelco (G)
[HT]
Back in the winning groove at Plumpton during the spring and no disgrace in being beaten by an unexposed odds-on shot when second in a 3-runner affair on return at Sedgefield (16.4f, good to firm). Struggled at Aintree last time, but that …

Jackpot Cash (G)

[HT]
Thrived upon joining this yard during the spring, scoring for fourth time (over hurdles/fences) in 21f chase at Sedgefield in May. Hasn't made a meaningful impact in 3 completed starts so far this season, but couldn't rule out with his mar…

Rodney (G)
[T]
Won handicap hurdles on first 2 starts for this yard earlier in the year and was still on bridle when falling heavily at the final fence on return/chase debut at Bangor (17.3f, good to soft). Failed to build on that next time, but he's cer…

Pep Talking (G)
[P]
Enhanced very good strike rate over fences at Wetherby last month, aided in no small part by a terrific round of jumping. Reported to have bled when pulled up at Wincanton next time and will be a danger to all, provided that all is well.

Two To Tango (G)
Maiden posted plenty of creditable efforts over hurdles last season and didn't shape badly on return/chase debut at Wincanton. Second in a 3-runner affair over this C&D last time and he's one to consider off the same mark.

Plantaroma (M)
Finished in the money on several occasions over hurdles last season, but reappearance display at Worcester was rather disappointing (since undergone another wind op) and opposable switched to fences here.
