Took a while to get the hang of hurdling (beaten at 11-10 three times in succession) but rattled off a quick double in May and was impressive at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on the second occasion; an 8lb rise since looks fair enough and he returns from six months off with his stable on fire.

Good-ground specialist who was useful in his prime for Chris Down; without a win since 2022, though, and recent point form for David Dennis is not inspiring (refused to race on latest appearance).

Winless since summer 2022 but he's generally reliable and often placed, though he has to be forgiven a lesser effort at Worcester (2m4f, good) last time; not the force of old, but he's handicapped accordingly and capable of bouncing back.
