Fairly useful bumper winner who posted his best run in this sphere when second of 16 in 2m Hereford novice 24 days ago; this longer trip should suit so he needs considering.

Chasing did not go to plan but he's returned to hurdles on last two starts, runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on latest despite not always jumping fluently; off the same mark, he should make his presence felt.

18-1, made a winning start over hurdles in six-runner Newcastle maiden (2m4f) 22 days ago; left in front at the last there but this son of Westerner is open to progress and can go well despite conceding 7lb all round.

Something to prove having been pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) latest; however, his chase debut fifth at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December wasn't devoid of promise, when jumping to the left at that right-handed track, and this lightly raced 6yo is not written off now in cheekpieces.

Showed more than the distance beaten suggests at Ayr in December; floundered on heavy ground next time but won with something to spare on handicap debut back at Ayr last month (2m, soft); up 7lb; pedigree strongly suggests return to further will suit; major player.

Had wind op before shaping well when fifth of 12 in 2m3f novice hurdle at Ascot on his debut a fortnight ago; also finished runner-up in an Irish point and this son of Jet Away looks the one to beat.

C&D winner (good) last summer when 11lb lower and successfully followed up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), when 5lb lower; after a successful stint in points, he returned to rules last month equalling his career best when second at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good); up 3lb but likely to remain competitive.
