T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m3f) who is still seeking a first chase success after four attempts over fences, though he's gone close on a couple of occasions; the drop in trip will not be an issue and he's not yet fully exposed, but he'll need to step up on those efforts if he's to break his duck.

Three-time hurdle winner, most recently off this mark at Exeter (2m, good) in November; made a promising chase debut in May when a staying-on second at Huntingdon (2m, good) but never involved at Newton Abbot (2m, good to soft) last month, shaping on both occasions as though a step back up in trip would help; player.

In good form over hurdles since swapping cheekpieces for blinkers this year and, following a win at Chepstow (2m7f, soft), reverted to chasing with clear/close second to unexposed rival here (2m3f, heavy) a fortnight ago; this race is stronger but the move back up in trip will suit; shortlisted.
