Benefited from first-time hood at Ludlow (2m) in latest attempt in maiden hurdles; may build on that success and show further progress in the retained headgear, provided he's as effective back up in trip.

Bettered low-key bumper debut and shaped quite well when fifth over hurdles at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month but was about 16l behind Sutherland there and is probably one for a bit further down the line.

Tailed off at Lingfield (2m, heavy) a fortnight ago but he's better than that, as evidenced by his 15l third at Hereford (2m, soft) last month; could have a part to play if bouncing back this afternoon.

Tailed off at big odds on all three hurdle starts and she's 3lb wrong at the weights for this handicap/chase debut; however, her dam was a two-time chase winner and this very lightly raced 8yo might improve for fences; interesting to see how she goes in the betting.
