60,000euros 3yo who finished second in a 2m point Flat race and a maiden point earlier in the year prior to joining his new yard; trainer operates at around a 24% strike-rate in bumpers and is an excellent 38-118 in them here; likely type.

Over two years since he won a race but latest third at Uttoxeter (2m4f) looks all the better now with the winner Wellington Arch going in again last week at Aintree; this 8yo might have a preference for slightly slower ground but he's respected.

Fourth in this race last year off 4lb lower, he has been placed on his last two starts and the drop back in trip and better ground should see him go close.

Stamina has not been proved after two attempts at 2m7f, albeit latterly when a mid-race faller on chase debut in December; good second of 17 back over hurdles at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft; acts on heavy) three weeks ago under Freddie Keighley and there is some stamina in the family.

Form & Verdict
£65,000 3yo; promising debut at Ffos Las last month, when staying on strongly late on (plenty of stamina in pedigree); the winner has let down the form since but today's more gruelling conditions should suit.

Won on chase debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October and runner-up on next two starts (including C&D) before narrow win at Windsor (2m, soft) in January; he's 6lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but this progressive 7yo may be able to find the necessary further improvement.

Solid record (122) switched to fences this term and his penultimate effort has worked out particularly well; ran creditably when favourite at Newbury (2m, good to soft) latest; may be capable of better still; strong contender.

Competitive off this sort of mark over hurdles and seems to go well after a break; however, lacks chasing experience and probably wants further than this trip.

Lightly raced 6yo who looked a likely handicap prospect on his novice and maiden form at about 2m but his handicap debut in a military riders' race at Sandown (2m, soft; favourite) in January didn't go to plan; still early days though and 2m3f promises to suit on pedigree.

Offered little over hurdles but he's a well-bred 5yo with low mileage and, although well beaten on his switch to fences at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft), he was well backed; shaped as though the run would bring him on.
