J: Ben Jones

T: Ben Pauling

Comfortably beat a big field in a Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) and following run here was too bad to be true; consistent prior to that and should be up to winning races off this sort of mark.

Drew 5l clear of his closest pursuer in big-field maiden at Lingfield (2m, soft) last time, adding to his good-ground bumper success and taking hurdles record to 321; steadily progressive and warrants respect.

Joined Ben Pauling for £54,000 after winning a bumper for Richard Bandey; held in two hurdle runs for current yard but he made a bold bid at Huntingdon (2m, soft) last month and was only narrowly denied by his main market rival; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's open to more progress.
