Two hurdle wins in France and probably his best British effort when second over C&D last month; beaten 14l by the winner and likely to need another step forward if he's to win this off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Has gradually found his level for Donald McCain and gained a first British win when scrambling home at Cartmel last month; 4lb higher in a better race but may have won that contest more easily but for being hampered by a loose horse; strongly considered.

Form & Verdict
Quite talented on the Flat and won twice at St Moritz in February, for Milton Harris; yet to transfer that ability over hurdles and sloppy round of jumping when sixth at Market Rasen last month (favourite); going left-handed might help and he's dangerous to rule out entirely.

Four runs for Gary Hanmer and attracted plenty of support at Cartmel in the latest of them, hampered and unseated at the final flight (might have been placed); wind surgery since and blinkers return; of more than passing interest to see if the money comes again.

Form & Verdict
Three novice wins in 2020 and won a chase last summer (all for Fergal O'Brien); rather lost his way this year and was pulled up in a chase in June on latest start; has a lot to prove but certainly worth market check on stable debut and after wind surgery; has made all when winning.
