T: Dan Skelton

Made a solid start to hurdling career on good ground; second on handicap debut at Newbury in November and went one better next time in taking fashion at Wetherby (again about 3m on soft) in February; raised 7lb but it's easy to think he has significantly more to give.

Bumper winner who landed a maiden here (2m3f, good) in October on second hurdle start before good second on handicap debut at Newbury (3m, soft) in November; there can be optimism he'll continue to progress for his top trainer and he's high on the list.

Ran well under penalties after winning his first bumper and has the benefit of hurdling experience after chasing home a well-touted horse (promising) at Chepstow (2m, good); faces nothing of that one's calibre here and very hard to oppose.

Twice came up short under penalties after winning a Carlisle bumper last October (soft) but showed more than enough to believe he'll do well over hurdles.
