Close up in a 2m2f Stratford novice (good) last June but on the slide since and he's been pulled up in the last two of his three handicaps; still lightly raced in this sphere but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has plenty to prove at this new trip.

Ex-Irish; was suited by drying ground, only reeled-in late at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft; 18-1; headgear absent) a month ago; competes from the same mark but with Dominic Hislop claiming a useful 10lb allowance; ticks plenty of boxes on just his third start for this trainer.

Dual point winner during the winter; well held in handicap hurdle when back under rules last month but stuck to his task very well when close second in small-field Market Rasen novice (2m7f, good) four weeks ago and has each-way claims at least here.

On the same mark as when winning over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer, ridden by James King; shaped as though the run was needed in March on return from an absence, before finishing a well-beaten second of three on chase debut the following month; has since undergone wind surgery and retains potential over fences.
