Form & Verdict
Hurdle debut; very impressive when winning bumpers at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) and Doncaster (2m, heavy) last season and he had excuses when tailed off in Grade 2 here (2m1f, good to soft) in April when sent off favourite (hampered and stumbled; bled from nose); remains a very exciting prospect.

Brings substandard Sefton form but might have won that Aintree prize with a better jump at the final flight and it was only his second attempt in this sphere; still of interest.

Very unexposed 7yo who collected two bumpers on soft and heavy ground last season and created a very good impression when winning easily here (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut in November; not seen since but his form has been well advertised by the placed horses in the meantime and connections are evidently keen to move him up in trip again; tongue-tie fitted.

Had three wind operations, the latest prior to him chasing home the favourite in a maiden hurdle at Perth a month ago (2m4f); he nearly won last year's EBF Final at Sandown when with Alan King, so has some class about him; won his only point and should do well over fences.

Pulled up in Haydock handicap in February to make it 0-12 under rules; had wind operations before and after that latest run; arrives with something to prove but he has lots of good placed form and is a leading contender if back on song; the tongue-tie adopted last time is left off.

Point winner who is yet to get the job done under rules after 11 attempts but has been runner-up five times, including in maiden at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) 37 days ago; also went close in the always-competitive EBF Final at Sandown last March off only 2lb lower so capable of playing a prominent role if putting his best foot forward after wind surgery (also tongue tied first time).

Easily won Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) on debut in April; it's possible he's one for further down the line but he was certainly impressive in his point and the betting could be informative on his first rules start.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, soft to heavy) in February, after which he was sold for £72,000; fair third (albeit soundly beaten) when favourite for Huntingdon bumper (2m, good) in April and could be suited by the step up in trip now hurdling, but a sizeable step forward is needed.

0-5 over hurdles but a different proposition since switch to fences and fitted with cheekpieces, winning his last three, all right-handed and the latest by a wide margin when left clear mid-race at Hereford (2m5f, soft); 8lb rise in the weights will ask a question now back up in class, but still respected.

0-5 over hurdles last term but has got his act together over fences since the application of cheekpieces and adopting front-running tactics, getting off the mark at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) last month and following up at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) 17 days ago; 6lb rise makes it tougher but looks sure to be the one to catch.
