Verdict

REALLYNTRUTHFULLY resumed his progress when collared only in the dying strides in a Hereford handicap the previous month and sets the standard on that form. Dramatic Encore and Last Rodeo are also progressing well, though, and merit respect in an interesting small-field novice.

Verdict
Point recruit who looked suited by the increased emphasis on stamina when making it third time lucky over hurdles in 20.5f Newbury novice (soft) in December. Ran poorly on handicap debut at Sandown subsequently but possibly failed to handle extreme conditions.

Verdict
Progressed again when opening his account in 11-runner maiden hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 22 days ago, forging clear. Conditions likely to be a good deal less testing here, but open to further improvement nonetheless.

Verdict
Runner-up sole outing in points last spring and showed promise in a Huntingdon bumper/maiden hurdle before opening his account at Warwick (21f). Solid fifth on handicap debut at Windsor before going close at Hereford (19.7f). The one to beat.

Verdict
Is progressing by the run and found enough improvement to make a winning switch to hurdles in 15-runner mares novice at Huntingdon (20.7f) 22 days ago, asserting gradually. Sure to progress further.
