Out of form on the Flat this spring and also ran poorly over fences on latest outing one month ago; comes here with a lot to prove; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers; considered only if lively in the betting.

J: Kielan Woods

T: D J Jeffreys

Won four-runner maiden hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm) last November and soft ground may not have suited in Sandown handicap next time; however, he's failed to shine on the Flat this year which dents confidence in his claims on this chase debut.

Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt.

J: Millie Wonnacott

Often a front-runner but he's a tactically versatile; six wins on turf (1m4f-1m6f) but he's not easy to predict and has been quiet on AW this winter; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are preferred.

Beaten long way in bumper last winter for Jimmy Fox; fared better (12l fifth) in Wetherby novice hurdle for new stable and may build on that reappearance effort; possibilities.

Not disgraced behind a useful sort in 2m novice event at Market Rasen on Boxing Day; comfortably held in two Class 4 handicaps since but may do better in this lower grade.

Highish initial mark at Musselburgh last time but the step up to 2m4f appeared more the issue; may resume earlier promise now back in trip with cheekpieces fitted.

Has shown promise at maiden/novice level, most recently second to useful sort at Market Rasen (2m) on Boxing Day; looks open to progress now handicapping and upped in distance; one to consider.
