Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January).

Form tailed off for previous yard and has taken time to find her feet for this one after wind surgery; didn't do anything in a hurry at Yarmouth recently (extended 1m3f, good to firm) but made relentless late headway to be a close third to in-form rivals; of interest up in trip.

Five-time Flat winner who landed a novice hurdle last March; it's been slim pickings in the main since and he was soundly beaten on his recent stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off the 4-1 joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.
