The All WeatherMan

He is a regular at this track and has good form here, including a win over fences off a 7 lbs higher mark. He finished 2nd in his last hurdles run here off a 12 lbs higher mark, so he can run well at a track he has form at off such a basement mark.

He won over course and distance in April and finished 4th over the same C&D next time out. He has disappointed for two yards since, but the return here could do wonders and he is now 1lb lower than his winning mark.

He won his point-to-point on debut on yielding to soft ground, but his pedigree points to a very good run in heavy ground. He is a half-brother to Gamin D'Oudairies, who relished very soft and heavy ground, and his dam Une D'Oudairies also relished softer ground. So, he has a great chance of handling conditions.

He had a respectable debut over course and distance finishing 4th before a nose win back at this track over 1m. He didn't cope with the soft ground last time out on turf and the return to the all weather should suit especially as he is a half brother to two all weather winners and his dam was also an AW winner.

She has finished a very good 2nd in her two turf runs so far, with her most recent 2nd being the better of the two runs, being beaten just 1.5 lengths. However, her debut 2nd was behind subsequent Group 1 and Group 2 winner Desert Flower, so that 6.5 length defeat can be forgiven. She switched to the all-weather for the first time today, which can suit very well as she is closely related to two AW winners in Omniscient and Loving Dash, is a half-sister to another in Dashing Willoughby, and her dam Miss Dashwood was also an AW winner, so she has a great chance as she seems bred for this surface.
