Form & Verdict
Won 1m4f AW novice for another yard last autumn; mixed since but it was not his fault that he didn't go very close to winning over 1m at Ayr recently (heavy) as he couldn't get out of a tight corner in time; visor replaces cheekpieces; ought to be very competitive at this level.

Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark.

A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though.

Maiden but hasn't had many chances and appreciated the return to 7f when keeping-on fifth in a big field at Yarmouth 14 days ago (good to soft; cheekpieces discarded); has less to prove than many.

Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that.

Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider.

Went very close in a 6f Ayr maiden (good) in his final run for Phillip Makin in August but he's been well held in a handicap (6f) and seller (1m) at Redcar in both runs for current yard; record now stands at 0-17 and has something to prove from wide draw back on AW.
