QUIAN was having just his second start for Lizzie Quinlan when scoring over C&D last month and remains nicely treated on old form. He can follow up. Tarbet Ness and Present Fair are feared most.

Not really threatened in a trio of starts over hurdles thus far but landed a staying event on Flat here in October and could be interesting now upped in trip for handicap debut in this sphere.

Failed to build on promise of previous start when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago and losing run continues to grow.

Verdict
Useful sort at his best on Flat and fairly useful hurdler. However, he was very disappointing on level in Britain at the end of 2024 and went with no encouragement back over timber at Ffos Las earlier this month.

Verdict
Dropped down to a handy mark and fared better than of late when respectable 8ΒΌ lengths fourth of 9 to Quian in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft, 14/1) 25 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Warrants respect.

Verdict
Allowed to build up an insurmountable lead when winning an amateur riders' event over 25f at this course in December and posted solid fifth of 9 behind Quian in handicap hurdle (13/2) over C&D (good to soft) 25 days ago. May find himself short of pace again here, though.

Off the mark at Southwell (20.4f) in May and has made the frame in handicaps at Sedgefield and Wetherby since. Needs to bounce back from a poor effort last time, though.

Off the mark, in first-time tongue strap, when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Ayr (20.4f, soft) 14 days ago. 6 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Back to winning ways, on just second start for new yard, when taking 9-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 25 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist
