J: Jonathon Bewley

T: George Bewley

Four-time course winner, twice over C&D, who was runner-up here three times in succession in May/June; found one too good again over C&D (Les's Legacy third) this month on his return from a break but that was a solid comeback and another bold bid looks on the cards.

Ten-time hurdle winner, including over C&D, but last success came at Market Rasen (extended 2m4f, good) in July last year off 7lb higher; mixed fortunes this term but second at Kelso two weeks ago and could have a say if repeating that effort back in trip.
