T: Patrick Neville

Back in Britain after three unsuccessful runs for an Irish yard in early part of this year; makes stable debut from a workable mark and is versatile regarding ground but he's tricky to weigh up at the moment.

Form & Verdict

Useful in his prime and took advantage of his reduced mark when clinging on at Taunton (2m, good to soft) 19 days ago (final start for Richard Hobson); retains plenty of handicapping scope on old form but recent record doesn't mark him down as an obvious one to follow up for his new trainer.

Form & Verdict

Has mixed chasing with hurdling this term but not been at best since Fontwell chase win in September (well-held fourth in Newcastle chase last time); starting to look well treated but needs first-time blinkers (added to usual tongue-tie) to give him a lift.

Form & Verdict

All three chase wins have come over 2m4f at Southwell in the month of May; his efforts this winter haven't been inspiring and his record suggests he won't be of real interest until a bit later in the spring.
