Sibling Authorised Speed's three hurdle wins offer encouragement that he can make his mark in this discipline. He returns to action after a break of 214 days.

Second in a two-mile Chepstow bumper in January, but beaten 15 lengths on soft ground, so that placing needs treating with caution. His October third at Ffos Las, beaten three and three quarters of a length over the same trip and going, was more encouraging. He returns after 278 days with more required in this maiden hurdle.

Third at Market Rasen on 5 April, but beaten 56 lengths over two miles and four and a half furlongs, so the placing offers limited encouragement.

Today's two miles represents a drop of four and a half furlongs from April, though he needs a much stronger performance over hurdles. He returns from 210 days off, with that lengthy absence adding another question to his prospects.

Fourth in a Class 3 hurdle at Chepstow on 11 October, he was beaten 34 and three quarters of a length over two miles on good to soft.

Jonathan Burke, who has plenty of Worcester experience, has ridden four winners from 28 rides in the past fortnight and partners him for Ben Case.

Fifth in a Class 5 bumper over 2m at Huntingdon on 11 March, he showed some ability to build on in this maiden hurdle.

He returns after 222 days, with translating that bumper ability to this two-mile maiden hurdle the task now. Jack Andrews knows Worcester well enough, having ridden six winners from 30 rides at the course.

Her second in a two-mile Uttoxeter bumper on 31 December showed promise on good to soft, although she finished nine and a half lengths behind the winner.
