Winless beyond 2m but so nearly put that right over Southwell's 2m4.5f in March (good) off 2lb lower; Warwick flop since to forgive, but usually worth a second look around this scene of his past three successes.

Seems to reserve his best for Uttoxeter and he gained his fourth course success over this trip in May (good ground; handles heavy); however, he was disappointing here just before Christmas and needs a revival.

Five hurdle wins, the latest a hard-fought success at favourite track Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May; didn't run badly last month, after a break, but is not one to rely upon heavily.

Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day.

Scored over 2m3f here (good to soft) in April and was close second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) the following month; disappointed when last in action but, if back on song, could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip.

Beaten over 16l at Kempton latest and yet to fire for this yard, although mark now looks much more realistic following a further 5lb drop; step up to 2m4f looks worth a go for one who stayed 1m6f on the Flat.

Was struggling for form over hurdles before finishing a 3.5l third of ten behind Gore Point at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June, but failed to build on that last month back from a break; makes chase debut off a sliding mark but others have more obvious claims.

Hitherto consistent level of form at this sort of trip, so perhaps best forgiven last month's Perth struggles (may have bounced on second run after a huge layoff); mark unchanged, but drier ground won't concern.

Won a C&D novice (good) in October 2022 but he struggled in a chase and seven hurdle races last year, trying headgear on last three starts; very well handicapped now and if the 130-day break has perked him up he'd be a huge danger; watch the market.
