Verdict

WASTHATOK didn't get very far on just his second start over the larger obstacles 3 weeks ago but he was a ready winner in this sphere over C&D the time before so can get back on track. The progressive Baratablet is feared most on his return, with Divilabother best of the others.

10	Back on track when second at Wetherby and confirmed that promise with a ready success at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) last month. Didn't get very far over fences next time but remains of interest back over hurdles. 1st Pick 10 Wasthatok Jockey: Joe Williamson Trainer: Philip Kirby J: Joe Williamson T: Philip Kirby	100	-	-	-	23%	Scratched

2	Runner-up first 2 starts and cemented positive start when landing the odds in maiden hurdle at Hexham. Further progress in handicaps since, resuming winning ways at Perth in April. Off since but he's so lightly raced that there's surely even more to come. 2nd Pick 2 Baratablet (Ire) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Nicky Richards J: Brian Hughes T: Nicky Richards	98	-	-	-	34%

8	Failed to win in Ireland but improved to strike at the first time of asking for Tristan Davidson at Hexham this summer. Runner-up both starts since (ground too testing last time) and can make his presence felt. 3rd Pick 8 Divilabother (Ire) Jockey: Harry Reed Trainer: Tristan Davidson J: Harry Reed T: Tristan Davidson	99	-	-	-	12%
