Lightly raced 6yo who won a handicap at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) in November on stable debut and followed up in the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle here (extended 2m4f, good) on New Year's Day, again with plenty in hand; this is a tough race in which to try to prove his stamina but he powered clear up the hill last time and could be a contender if seeing out this new trip.

Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy.

Juvenile who couldn't justify favouritism but stayed on well for second on his 2m Sandown handicap debut a fortnight ago, suggesting this step up in trip should suit; still looks well treated after a 3lb nudge and leading claims for in-form trainer.

Has been front running; won well at Stratford (good) and nothing wrong with his subsequent defeats, finishing just over 2l off the smart Givemefive (since second in a Grade 2) before a third to an unexposed Nicholls horse at Huntingdon (second since bolted up in a handicap); could have got in lightly for handicap debut; unraced on heavy but fine on soft; still in Tuesday's Boodles.

Was struggling for form over hurdles before finishing a 3.5l third of ten behind Gore Point at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June, but failed to build on that last month back from a break; makes chase debut off a sliding mark but others have more obvious claims.
