No promise in handicaps around 2m5f (Martin Pipe at Cheltenham latterly) since joining Dan Skelton; his hurdle form for Willie Mullins came at around 2m, so it's possible the drop back in trip will help, but the yard's other runners hold more obvious claims.

Failed to complete on his last two runs, falling on final start for Willie Mullins then pulled up in 2m5f handicap when 66-1 for new yard; with those letters next to his name, he cannot be supported confidently in a race of this depth.

J: Harry Atkins

Formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort over hurdles when second in conditions event at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in December; third when falling two out next time; hardly looks thrown in on handicap hurdle debut so probably best watched on first outing for a new yard.

Flat winner in France on heavy; returned from spell hurdling with respectable third in Galway conditions event over this trip (2.5l ahead of stablemate Bunting) before never landing a blow in Ebor when midfield; can't be ruled out probably needs to step up to play a major role.

J: Jamie Spencer

T: W P Mullins

Ex-French 4yo; tailed off in Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in March; second favourite back to Flat for handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) but headstrong and ended up making the running before falling in a hole; held up last with a hood in non-handicap at Galway (1m6f) since and kept on into third of seven, but he needs to show something very new to win this.
