Comment: 0-8 over hurdles now but looked suited by the step up in trip when running big race in C&D handicap (good) in May and ought to make his presence felt again in this maiden.

Little Miller

Jockey: Adam Wedge Trainer: D J Jeffreys Age/Wt: 6/10-3 F: 876-5 OR: 75

Comment: Mares' point winner; 3m perhaps too far on handicap debut but hadn't shown much under rules before that; tries a tongue-tie.

13/8

Comment: Placed in a bumper (good) and produced a career best hurdling effort when runner-up here (2m, good; first-time visor) latest, despite jumping right (front pair well clear); might be better on a right handed track but still looks capable of having a say back up in trip.

Comment: Got off the mark on his penultimate start, when getting racing early at Southwell (2m4f, good) and seeing it out well; tactics were similar when, after a 5lb rise, he was almost 5l second in a C&D (good) conditionals event recently; should be thereabouts.

6/1

Comment: 1m2f AW Flat winner when trained by Tom Clover (RPR 70); well beaten in all seven hurdles starts for Milton Harris; didn't run during a 19-month spell with Anthony Charlton; now has first start for a trainer among the winners, from a basement mark; interesting if supported from 1lb wrong.

9/1

Comment: Placed in 7-17 starts under rules at up to 2m5f; would have claims from this mark if replicating her return from a two and a half year absence at Carlisle in April but has plenty to prove on her three subsequent efforts.

Comment: 0-6 but respectable efforts when placed in a bumper (good) and 2m novices' hurdle (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) here last month; not as good back here latest; step up in trip is probably a positive; not ruled out.
