5yo who has got better with each of his three runs for this yard, going close at Warwick (2m, soft) most recently; also effective on good ground and he shaped last time as though today's step up in trip could be a plus.

Failed to go on for the Skeltons; his second run for this yard when third at Sandown (2m, soft; first-time hood) was a return to form, though he was held up off a fast pace set by the winner and might be flattered.

6yo maiden who ran well, one place in front of Les's Destiny Star, in first-time visor over C&D (good to soft) last month on debut for new stable and return from lengthy layoff; likely player provided that effort is backed up and the bounce is avoided.

Form & Verdict
Sets the standard on his placed efforts in similar events on good to soft/soft in recent weeks; has the cheekpieces he wore on the Flat fitted for the first time over hurdles; thereabouts again but vulnerable to anything with potential.

Won small-field Sedgefield chase (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day and reverts to hurdling on a good mark but looked badly out of sorts when tried in a visor in March and has become very unreliable; usual cheekpieces refitted here; not an easy one to predict.

Fair Flat-racer who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when close third at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in May; that form isn't anything out of the ordinary but, nevertheless, he has each-way claims again.

Won handicaps on the Flat over 7f and 1m (good to soft/soft) at the end of the summer; stamina could be an issue over hurdles but Sean Bowen has been booked for this first attempt and needs a betting check.
