J: Jay Tidball

T: Paul Nicholls

Won in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Taunton (2m, heavy) in February on second hurdle start and went close at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; he's shaped as though he'll be suited by the step up in trip and there's lots to like on his handicap debut.

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Paul Nicholls

Won by a neck in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Taunton (2m, heavy) last month on his second hurdle start and the runner-up has since gone one better; showed promise on good to soft in a bumper (unraced on good); strong claims for top trainer who is 5-7 here in the last five seasons.

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Paul Nicholls

Showed ability when reaching the frame in two bumpers (trained by Tom Weston on debut) but beaten 30l when fifth on 2m Exeter hurdle debut (good to soft) five weeks ago; tongue-tied on the back of that; Harry Cobden is on stablemate Babyken.

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Paul Nicholls

Inexperience evident when not beaten far in a Kempton bumper on good to soft; the winner looks useful and the runner-up was third in the recent Grade 2 Persian War on his hurdling debut; that was a promising start for this 4yo.
