Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off.

Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up.

Left some very uninspiring AW form behind when respectable fourth on hurdling return at Worcester (2m, good) last month but is not sure to be suited by today's move back up in trip and others have more persuasive profiles; most turf form is on good ground; once ran well on good to soft.

Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot.

Breakthrough win came only time Benoit De La Sayette rode him (9.4f Tapeta, last October); miss, hit and miss since and likely needs to return from break in top form to score again; cheekpieces applied.

C&D winner for William Jarvis last October but he's been generally disappointing since including when beaten 12l on his recent stable debut at Nottingham; now 2lb lower than for his win but he needs a major revival back on Tapeta.
