Just 1-11 over hurdles but returned from long absence with two good thirds this season, the latter at Bangor (2m3f, good) 11 days ago; soft ground also suits; player if he takes well to fences.

Form & Verdict
Flat winner (2m) who easily beat three rivals at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in August on hurdling debut, storming clear on the run-in; withdrawn after getting loose at Market Rasen on his next intended start; open to improvement and has an obvious chance despite a 7lb penalty.

Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid.

Some promise in five Flat runs for William Haggas, including when third over 1m6f at Wetherby, but weak in the market and didn't achieve much on hurdling debut when a distant fifth at Hexham; much more required.

Showed nothing more than glimmers of promise over hurdles last season (four starts) and is 6lb out of the weights for today's handicap debut but was placed in a fast-ground handicap on the Flat last spring and is unexposed on a sound surface in this sphere; worth a glance in the betting.
