Dual winner last year, latterly off 4lb higher, who's running in a 0-65 for the first time; finished last on his latest start but wasn't beaten far and Cieren Fallon (0-5 for the yard) is a positive booking; ought to fare better.

Form & Verdict
Didn't run badly without threatening in 1m4f/9.4f AW handicaps before finishing well held in a useful handicap hurdle three weeks ago; doesn't appear to be operating at the peak of his powers at the minute.

Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race.

Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims.

Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Not at all pressed in winning his last four under Jack Callan, the last two by margins of 9l and 11l; laughed at a double penalty at Wolverhampton four days ago (1m6f) and he's handicapped to go in again.

Now 9lb lower than for last September's 2m win at Chester (heavy) and his final turf run at Doncaster in March was respectable, finishing fourth of 18; would prefer slower ground in an ideal world.

Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move.

Form & Verdict
Mixed bag last season after being gelded, though did win a 2m AW handicap off 3lb higher and was twice runner-up; his two turf defeats were in maidens so those are forgiven, but harder to turn a blind eye to this year's two modest shows on the AW.
