J: Harry Cobden

T: Paul Nicholls

Runner-up in the opening novice hurdle on this card 12 months ago; looked unlucky not to win over C&D at Christmas when failing only narrowly to get up (on good); quite likely that he was unsuited by the heavy ground when a beaten favourite on his return visit and a physical issue also came to light; with this drying ground in his favour, he's right in the mix with cheekpieces added.

Point/bumper winner who didn't hang about over hurdles; disappointing chase debut here in November but looked unlucky not to win over 2m6f here (good; effective on soft) over Christmas when a late rally narrowly failed; the winner of that race is unexposed; big player off just 3lb higher.
