J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

Has faced stiff tasks since arriving in Britain but has been disappointing even so and failed to improve for the drop to this level when a remote last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f) last time; has come a long way down the weights but for good reason; plenty to prove at present.

Mostly stiff tasks since arrival in Britain but disappointing even so, posing zero threat in the Summer Hurdle latest; hard to entertain despite this easier grade, and winless on sound turf surfaces also.

T: Dan Skelton

Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially disappointing under both codes and has got nothing going for Dan Skelton, with his latest run after wind surgery at Newton Abbot thoroughly underwhelming (8-1 and weak in the betting); very much the stable second string.

T: Dan Skelton

Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially underwhelming under both codes and has got nothing going in three runs for Dan Skelton, including handicaps at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals; in calmer waters here after a wind operation and disappointing should he not show a lot more.

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.
