Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; didn't run up to his best over fences last year (pulled up last two starts); better ground will suit and well handicapped, but plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who is also a dual scorer over hurdles but she has been off the track for a year since pulled up in 2m4f handicap hurdle here; returns over fences after a wind op and she can't be discounted with her yard going well.

Fairly useful hurdler who scored over 2m4f at Huntington last term; he resumes after ten months off here but this winning pointer can't be ruled out now going chasing.

Form & Verdict
Walked over at Ascot on his chasing debut 13 days ago after posting an excellent second to Remastered over hurdles in 3m Aintree handicap; tongue strap goes on; he brings lots of potential to this sphere so merits serious consideration.
