Won four Flat handicaps over 1m2f/1m4f for George Boughey; well behind the 1-8 winner when coming down at the last in a four-runner maiden hurdle at Sandown on debut; this is easier but has a bit to prove.

Useful handicapper on the Flat for George Boughey; off the mark on fourth hurdle start when taking Ludlow handicap in good style last time; drying ground suits; should go well despite 9lb rise.

Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene; wouldn't have won but displayed some ability until falling at Sandown on hurdles debut in January; also offered something to work on in two starts the following month; Flat form makes this opening hurdle mark look dangerous.

Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene (effective on soft); wouldn't have won when falling at Sandown and then no match for a dark horse at Southwell; highly likely that he'll need more here.

Well beaten on heavy ground two starts ago but his other two qualifying runs were quite encouraging, the latter a well-held third at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month; up in trip for handicap debut and should have some improvement to come.

Barely had to be nudged out to make a winning start to his handicap career at Exeter (2m2f, good) last Friday; the extra yardage here should help if anything and he'll take a bit of stopping under a 7lb penalty if showing up in a similar mood.

Placed in a good-ground bumper on debut last year; not devoid of promise in three starts over hurdles; longer trip at this stiff track should help to bring his stamina into play, from what looks a fair mark on handicap debut; interesting.

Didn't see out the trip in two Irish bumpers, and the margins of defeat have been increasing in maiden/novice hurdles since; some encouragement on breeding for fences (nephew of Mikael D'Haguenet), at least.
