Beat a subsequent winning hurdler in a soft-ground bumper at Bangor before finishing down the field at 200-1 in the Champion Bumper; he's not the easiest to weigh up and has been off for nearly a year.

Only one 4yo (Cue Card) has won this race since 1995; this one is well related but has been absent since December when edging out a subsequent winning hurdler at Bangor (soft); that bare form leaves him with a whopping amount to find on this seismic rise in class.

By some way it was his best performance yet when the only one to give the odds-on winner a race over C&D (soft) in late March; may need to take another step forward here but that's quite feasible.

Beaten about 12l when fourth of 12 on his Exeter debut (1m5f, good to soft) in October; that was a promising start and the fifth horse has since won at Aintree where Linalene was back in third; longer trip should suit and likely to make his presence felt.

Juvenile hurdle winner for Emma Lavelle and had a wind op after his successful debut for this yard; hadn't been asked too many questions when falling at Cheltenham (race won by Supreme favourite Old Park Star) and he then won his novice quite nicely at Ludlow; brings potential into handicaps and plenty of it.
