T: Neil King

Not at his best in competitive handicap hurdles at Sandown in March and Aintree in April, but he'd previously won well at Newbury (2m, good to soft; probably stays 2m4f); began his career in points (1-1) and has a jumps pedigree so there's a reasonable chance he'll make a chaser; respected in first-time headgear.

J: Miss Gina Andrews

T: Neil King

Returned to form with a bang when seeing off the reopposing Melon at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in February; has a quick turnaround as an excuse for a lesser effort in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) one week later, while his trainer reported to the stewards that he'll be suited by a flatter track and a quicker surface, both of which he should get today; not dismissed.

Returned to form with a bang when dropped back in trip and a well-backed winner at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last Saturday; now 8lb higher in a much hotter race but he's unexposed at this sort of distance and his stable is in tremendous form; has also won on soft ground; not ruled out.

Has not been at his best this season but trying 2m4f (twice; showed plenty on first occasion) and 3m (pulled up on heavy last time) on his last three outings may have been against him; career peak was a C&D novice win (soft) last February and his stable form, as well as the drop back in trip, makes him of renewed interest.

Useful novice last season, winning on soft; ran well for a long way at Aintree (2m4f, soft) in early December but again didn't see it out over that C&D when well held on Boxing Day; mark continues to fall but a bit to prove right now and stamina is unproven.
