Winning pointer who stuck to her task pretty well when second (no threat to winner) on recent chase/handicap debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; first-time hood); could still have a bigger run in her; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Comfortable hurdle winner at Southwell eight days ago (after seven months off, first attempt at 3m), despite looking less than straightforward in the closing stages; 5lb lower on return to fences and ran well enough in two chasing attempts last summer; obvious claims if this doesn't come too soon.

Both hurdle wins on good ground but showed he could get it done on soft when winning a five-runner handicap chase at Hexham (3m) 16 days ago; the third there has won since and a 4lb rise isn't excessive; one to consider.

Nothing like the force of old and very inconsistent in recent years to boot; ran well for a long way when second at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) last month but it's hard to tell whether he'll warm to the task here.

Unplaced all six chasing starts, most recently when pulled up last month; comes here with a lot to prove but has slipped to a very tempting hurdle mark and might be aided by first-time blinkers; fine on good and soft ground.
