Form & Verdict
Carlisle bumper winner in October who followed up when making all to land a Kelso novice hurdle (2m, good) last month at the third attempt in this sphere; had things his own way that day but still commands respect under a penalty in a race lacking depth.

Won a Carlisle bumper in October last year (2m1f, good) but hasn't done as well over hurdles (pulled hard when tailed off last time); looks one for handicaps.

Delivered on earlier promise when making all in good-ground Carlisle bumper in October; behind two of today's rivals when weakening seventh on hurdle debut here (2m, good to soft) this month but ran well for a long way and wasn't beaten far; can feature if that outing brought him on.

Has shown ability in two of his three bumper starts, most recently when a staying-on fourth at Warwick (2m, good) in October; makes both hurdling and stable debut and is likely to improve with time.

Nobotheratall is respected under his penalty for his Kelso win but may struggle to concede so much weight to the unpenalised OBSESSEDWITHYOU. [Tim Mitchell]
