Runner-up in a bumper here last March (2m, good); has run creditably on both starts over hurdles, on first occasion finishing second to a decent prospect over this C&D (good to soft); contender.

Slightly disappointing in his second bumper but belied 33-1 odds when second of five in quite interesting novice hurdle at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last month and won't be far away if able to build on that performance here.

Form & Verdict
Second on bumper debut at Chepstow (good) last April; made jumping errors when well-held when third in Doncaster novice hurdle (2m, soft) in November but has plenty of scope for improvement if he finds some fluency on this return to better ground, and his pedigree suggests the new trip will suit.

Runner-up in sole bumper at Chepstow and has shaped with promise on both outings in this sphere, staying on well having stumbled home turn when second of six in 2m5f novice at Market Rasen last month; this son of Malinas has more to offer.

Irish point winner yet to get off the mark under rules; ran his best race when third over C&D in March; below that form when a warm favourite in a Ffos Las maiden last month but may warrant another chance.

Point winner who has largely encouraging rules form and may be capable of progress in this second handicap attempt; returns from a break; market support would heighten interest.
