Form & Verdict
1-18 and not as good as he was but he has shown a bit more of late, as when a close second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last Sunday; drops into a 0-65 for the first time; respected off the same mark.

Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark.

Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Won over hurdles last November and twice runner-up at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) in the meantime; however, he has plenty to prove after finishing tailed off at Newbury (1m5f, good) last month and this shorter trip is not sure to be the answer.

Ended a 16-race losing run from 1lb lower at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) in April and ran well to finish third in his next two starts; well held at Nottingham (2m, good) in May and has been off since; may just need the run and ideally wants further than this these days.

Has proved consistent since making a winning stable debut in a first-time visor at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in June; didn't seem to lack for stamina when second of nine at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) on his penultimate outing and should go well again.

Form & Verdict
0-9 on the Flat, including three starts on the AW, but he has been in cracking form over hurdles lately with four wins and two seconds from his last six starts; hard to know how he will cope with the return to this discipline but if his improvement is general then he will make them all go.
