Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though.

A fairly useful 1m2f winner at his best but his form has dipped of late, tried over 11.5f when last of 11 at Windsor last month; it would come as no surprise though if he bounced back now off an easing mark.

Fairly useful on Flat for previous yard; respectable second in big field at Wincanton (1m7f, good) on the latest of two attempts over hurdles; now goes in tongue-tie; should be capable of better still under this code and is one for the shortlist.
