T: Tom McGuinness

Has done most of his winning on the Flat in Britain, and has found a new lease of life over hurdles at his local track last month, following up a good second in a 2m1f handicap hurdle in early July by getting up on the line to land a similar handicap over the same trip three weeks later; up 6lb for those two efforts is far from excessive and he can be thereabouts once more with the step up in trip unlikely to be an issue.

Sent off at just 9-2 on return from mammoth absence in a handicap hurdle here 16 days ago (16.5f, good) and denied only by a neck; capable off this mark over fences but the 'bounce' factor has to be a concern and has fallen both previous chase runs at this venue.
