Form & Verdict
Winning Irish pointer (effective on soft); he's not pulled up any trees in three runs in novice hurdles for current yard but connections waste no time getting over fences and this stamina test should suit; Brian Hughes takes over for this handicap debut and he's interesting.

Won twice last season, including over 3m3f on soft, and creditable runner-up on the second of his three runs this autumn; off three months but thereabouts judged on those better efforts.

C&D winner (soft) just over a year ago and narrowly beat a hot favourite in a match at Catterick (3m1f, good) in February; was having his second start back from a lengthy absence when beaten 2l into second of eight behind Ballylinch back here (soft) last time; 2lb better off and shouldn't be far away again.

Two chase wins in January (3m1f on soft and 2m7f on good to soft); ended last season quietly but this race isn't strong and he has gone well after a break in the past; the step up in trip could unlock more from him.

Made low-key return in October from one-year absence but is well handicapped on old form (even from 10lb out of the weights) and will be suited by today's ground; worth a glance in the betting.
