Won over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) just over a year ago, despite running in snatches, and gave good account when third (albeit well held in the end) on seasonal reappearance at Doncaster (3m, good) in November; eased in grade here, high on the list.

0-6 in bumpers/hurdles but he's won two of his six starts over fences and was a creditable third at Southwell (3m, good to soft) 24 days ago; still has potential in this sphere and he's respected for in-form yard; wore cheekpieces last time and visor now goes on.

Lightly raced 7yo who came on a bundle for his first run in 11 months to win with a bit in hand over this far on good ground at Hereford three months ago; has never raced on soft so subsequent three-month break might be put down to him waiting for his ground and, although 12lb higher for this, he may well have more to offer (2-4 over fences).
