Returned from layoff with low-key run in February but was placed twice under Leah Noreci here last summer (3m1f/2m6f) and seems very versatile regarding ground; can't be ignored. |

Just 1-10 over fences but ran well in defeat in first-time blinkers at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in August and was placed (over hurdles) on both previous visits to Hereford; no surprise if he features. |

1-8 over fences and mostly running well but he can throw in the odd modest effort and wasn't at his best behind Doctor Foley at Fontwell in May last time out; could well leave that effort behind back today and he needs considering. |

11st 7lb |
Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces. |

1m7f (soft) and 3m (good) hurdle winner; inconsistent; would have each-way claims based on her penultimate start over 2m7f at Market Rasen (had 2m4f defeats either side of that) and this extreme trip is worth a try. |
