Placed in two of his four bumpers and appeared to display improvement when close second on last month's seasonal/hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft), despite looking unsure at some of the early flights and racing a bit too freely; likely contender here.

Dual novice hurdle winner last season (2m5f/3m) and placed in Doncaster Grade 2 (3m, good) in between; probably bumped into a very good one when second in Perth Listed race in April, and his handicap mark ought to be workable on this chasing debut.

Left poor bumper debut a long way behind when winning by 15l at Worcester (good) in June; raced too freely but ran well for a long way before weakening out of contention between last two flights on last month's hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); can last longer if he settles better here.

His overall record is mixed (despite five wins from 11 races) but justifying favouritism in good style in a five-runner handicap at Wetherby (extended 2m3f, good) last month was a career best; up 9lb but he has to be of major interest on that performance.

Made inauspicious Irish point debut a year but returned from break with two much better efforts in the spring, the latter a 17l win on good ground; interesting to see how he fares on today's rules debut.

Placed in good-ground Uttoxeter bumper last November and made quite promising hurdle debut in January but signed off with two consecutive falls in the spring and a clear round might be his main priority today; cheekpieces fitted for first time.
