Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere.

Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here.

Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well.

Inconsistent seven-race maiden; remote second at Brighton (1m4f) on his penultimate run but he was beaten less than 2l when runner-up in a C&D handicap last week; was just ahead of Zebra Star in that race and has claims if he can back that up.

Four wins over the winter included a C&D success under George Bass when Mc'Ted was fourth, but he's been kept busy and last week's well-held sixth at Southwell was somewhat underwhelming; needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record in ten starts but her win came off this mark at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last autumn and she got back near her best with a strong-finishing third over C&D (hood added; Optik second) last week; that was an eyecatching effort out wide and she's still unexposed at this trip; shortlisted.
