Useful hurdler for Ben Pauling, winning two of his ten starts; has quickly found his feet back over fences with back-to-back small-field wins, the latest with ease at Uttoxeter 17 days ago; up 6lb and may face a sterner test from Captain Cool but still the one to beat.

T: Dan Skelton

Won twice over hurdles for Ben Pauling; not disgraced in either the County Hurdle or the Swinton for his new trainer this year and made a winning return to fences when finishing alone at Cartmel (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; that win should have done his confidence a world of good and he should take all the beating.

Both wins came at Huntingdon when trained by Ben Pauling; made his stable debut in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, when not beaten far, and he wasn't disgraced when hooded and held up out the back in the Swinton at Haydock (favourite) two weeks ago; this will feel like a drop in the ocean in comparison and, although turned over at a short price last October in his only chase, he should make light work of these two rivals on his return to fences.

Form & Verdict
Won first two starts over fences (2m1f, good) and shaped just as well when reverting to hurdles off 13lb lower, finishing runner-up at Southwell this month; latest second, over fences at Perth 23 days ago, was perfectly respectable but his current mark looks demanding.

J: Sean Quinlan

Launched chasing career with wins at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month, and also ran well when second over hurdles on Tuesday; evidently in very good nick but current chase mark asks a question of him, and today's forecast slower ground is probably not ideal.

A fair and reliable winning hurdler who advanced his form when going 2-2 over fences in 2m1f Plumpton handicap a week ago; reverts to hurdles off a 5lb lower mark here so merits serious consideration.

Won twice over hurdles for Dan Skelton last November; pulled up on his chase debut after reported to have bled from the nose at Bangor four weeks ago and subsequently sold for £5,000; regular hood is left off on stable debut and best to proceed with caution.

Made all for two good-ground novice hurdle wins last November (2m, 2m3f); lesser form this year likely more to do with a refusal to settle under restraint than the move to handicaps, but a return to previous tactics may put him in a pace battle with a few here; chasers in pedigree.
