Delivered on earlier promise when winning C&D (heavy) maiden last month, recovering well from slow jump at third-last flight; ran to fairly useful level that day but probably needs to improve again to land this prize.

Pulled up after significant mid-race jumping error at Ascot six weeks ago but was runner-up on first two hurdling starts (2m3f, soft/good to soft), and his bumper form suggests he'll be well suited by the forecast heavy ground here; probably won't be far away.

More experienced than most of these and he keeps giving his running, beaten off only on the run-in when second of four in novice at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) five weeks ago; should be winning before long and he's not ruled out here.

Second at Exeter (soft) in January on debut and and close third of 11 when favourite at the same track (heavy) in February; likely to face very different ground but brings easily the best form.

Half-brother to smart novice hurdler Bill Joyce; clear second to a subsequent Listed runner-up on debut over C&D (soft) last month and, with that experience under his belt, he needs to be taken very seriously today.
