Form & Verdict
Closely related to the high-class staying jumper Ahoy Senor who was runner-up in his sole bumper; showed something to build on when third of seven at Southwell (good; 2-1 favourite) last November on only outing for Fergal O'Brien; wouldn't need to improve much on that to go close here.

Won good-ground Hexham bumper in the autumn; well beaten in three subsequent maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but had wind surgery during 69-day break and is back on good ground for this handicap debut; improvement possible.

Won a bumper at Hexham (2m, good) in October; disappointing on his two hurdle starts (2m4f/2m, soft) and arrives with something to prove but the return to better ground could help and he might not be a forlorn hope.

Pair of novice wins over an extended 2m3f (soft/good); flopped in a 3m Grade 2 novice at Doncaster in January but quickly back on the up with an excellent staying-on second of 17 in the EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft; Kaka's Cousin fourth) five weeks ago; well worth another attempt at 3m and has to enter calculations.

Goes into stiffer company but he's the only course winner in this field, having defied a penalty here (2m3f, good) last time; has largely progressive form and the step back up in distance is worth a shot.

Justified favouritism on debut at Newcastle in April and showed plenty of improvement when a close third at Haydock the following month (also good ground); should go well again under a penalty.

Very close fourth of four finishers on debut in bumper here (2m, good) in October and took a step forward at Ayr (2m, soft) recently on third hurdle start, when keeping on into sixth (jockey suspended for ten days for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible placing); the step up in trip could be a positive move and he's not ruled out.
