J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Neil Mulholland

Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close having looked the likely winner at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) latest; big player from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort.

Two wins over hurdles last season (3m/3m2f, good/good to soft); has failed to finish in three of his five starts over fences, best run when second at Taunton in December (2m7f, good); could go well but a bit risky.

Four-time hurdle winner but he's 0-4 over fences, and he jumped left throughout and was beaten when he fell here (2m7f, heavy) two weeks ago; that was his second non-completion as a chaser and others are preferred.

All three hurdle wins have been on slow ground at Hexham (2m7f) and latest was in October; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in his last two starts; may have needed the run at Carlisle last month but this is competitive and others are preferred.

Goes well fresh for he has won twice after a break over 2m7f at Hexham this season (good to soft); these conditions suit; should go well after another absence despite rise in grade and being 1lb out of the handicap.
