Form & Verdict
Half-brother to useful hurdler Royal Bonsai; improved to cause 33-1 surprise in 17-runner Kempton bumper (soft) in March, his third start; possibly not seen to quite the same effect when fourth on good ground at Bangor the following month but still a likely contender on hurdling debut.

J: Mr Jamie Neild

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Novice chaser who has several pieces of sound form at up to 2m4f this season, including a second at Aintree; however, below that level in major handicaps in two of his last three starts, seeming a non-stayer at Doncaster (soft) in the sole 3m attempt; stamina to prove back up in trip.

Fairly useful novice chaser who scored easily at Doncaster in November and has performed creditably off current mark twice since, albeit failed to justify favouritism when sent up to Newcastle (2m4f) last time; goes into deeper waters at this level.

Always ridden by Jamie Neild; walked over on his second chase assignment and easily made all in four-runner handicap at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in November; another big run from the front when second of five at Aintree (2m4f) next time, before his first attempt at 3m did not work out in a Grade 3 handicap four weeks ago; he should be of renewed interest back at 2m4f.

Pulled up in 3m Grade 1 at Aintree festival in April and now 0-9 over hurdles but has some useful form on his CV, including creditable third in Class 2 Exeter handicap (2m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in February; will be a tough nut to crack if somewhere near that level today.

Won five handicap chases in the space of six starts during the winter; that came a cost mark-wise and he was twice well held before suffering same fate back over hurdles last time (2m7f novice; tried blinkers); bit to prove now.
