Placed in a point but he raced too freely under an inexperienced claimer on his chasing debut when sixth of eight in 2m3f Stratford handicap 25 days ago; he showed some fair form without winning over hurdles and can do better with Charlie Deutsch now up.

Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed.

Won twice when fitted with blinkers in September (2m7f/3m2f) and looked as good as ever when second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) last month; not one to rely upon heavily but will be fine on today's ground and features prominently in calculations.

A fair Flat/hurdles winner who also came home first (by 18 lengths) in 2m5f Uttoxeter handicap chase last month only to be demoted for taking the wrong course in the straight; he can race off a 5lb lower mark here so holds leading claims.
