Low-mileage 9yo who completed a hurdle hat-trick when landing a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good) in November; his winning streak came to an end at Taunton (last of five) in January but that was a Class 2 event and he travelled well to a point; returns after another break but he's out of a useful chaser and should have a future at this new discipline; needs a close look.

Point runner-up for Tom Ellis; stepped up on his hurdles form when a rallying second at Fontwell (about 2m5f, good to soft) on his chase debut in November; subsequent absence is a small concern but there's likely more to come from him, with this extra distance a positive.
