Pulled up after racing too freely on handicap hurdle debut in October and finished last when back on the AW in refitted cheekpieces (retained here) last month; difficult to enthuse over.

Lost his maiden tag at Beverley (1m4f) in June but he was pulled up over hurdles at Carlisle when last seen out in October; he needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Flat Flat-racer with nine wins on his CV; still unexposed over hurdles but was just a respectable fifth on recent handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) and younger rivals are more persuasive here.

Prolific Flat-racer with nine wins to his name, eight on the AW; still unexposed over hurdles and it wasn't a bad handicap debut at Huntingdon two months ago (2m3f, good to soft).

Nine Flat wins (eight on AW); made a belated return to hurdling (0-3) in November and latest fourth was in a claimer; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 6yo who was placed on handicap debut at Hexham (2m, soft) in November; below that form at Southwell later that month but may still have untapped potential over today's longer trip.

Best RPR came in a bumper but there were more positive signs over hurdles when third of 14 on his handicap debut at Hexham (2m, soft); possibilities if building on that.
