Belatedly off the mark under rules with hard-fought success at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) in October and also ran well when second over same C&D (soft) the following month; has fitness to prove after 169-day break, though, and others in this line-up appeal more.

Hasn't been seen since February but last October's Stratford close second (off this mark) came after two years away; appears to stay 3m but both wins at shorter and this isn't the track for those with suspect stamina.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Samuel Drinkwater

2m4f course winner who returned from a long absence with a good second at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good) in October; below par next time and he's since unseated (six out) over this C&D, but he was going okay at the time and is not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
3m3f course winner last season when 7lb lower; also competitive from this mark next time; form then tailed off and he had wind surgery in May; has his first run since, with tongue-tie now accompanying cheekpieces; bit to prove and perhaps one to watch unless market vibes are strong.

0-7 over hurdles as opposed to 3-12 in chases, and he hasn't been at his best over fences on his last three starts; however, he ran well for a fair way at Sedgefield (3m3f) last month in a race he won last year, and that was his first start since May; has a lower hurdle mark and is not discounted.
