Has a Festival scorer in the family with the dam a distant relation of Mildmay of Flete winner Young Spartacus; some feat to win his Irish point by 41l and it was again a walk in the park in his bumper at Exeter (heavy); plenty of today's opposition would have won that weak race in the same manner but he has a strikingly similar profile to Captain Teague who finished third in this last year for the same connections; his trainer, who has had horses placed in this race but never won it, describes him as a sharper type than stablemate Quebecois.

Out of a fairly useful Irish chaser; joined Paul Nicholls after huge-margin win on Irish point debut in October (soft ground) and is a general 16-1 shot for next month's Cheltenham Festival bumper; fascinating to see how he fares on today's rules debut.

Progressed again on last three starts, winning two of them (good to soft); moving up to 3m at this track proved an excellent fit three weeks ago when he mostly had a clear lead before striding on again smoothly in closing stages; up another 9lb but could also prove too hot for today's rivals.

Low-mileage 7yo who left low-key seasonal debut behind when scoring by just over 5l at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December and again ran well when placed here (2m4f, good) later that month; open to improvement on first attempt at 3m; must be considered seriously.

Third foal; dam unraced half-sister to bumper/useful 3m hurdle winner Our Vinnie; won soft-ground Irish point snugly by 5l on debut in November and changed hands for £115,000 the following month; new stable has very healthy bumper strike-rate (13%); must be considered.

Came good as a hurdler (sixth attempt) when asserting by 5l in a five-runner and four-finisher novice handicap over C&D (good) 13 days ago, having breezed into the lead before two out under Charlie Maggs; hot favourite Noble Blue unseated early in that race; up 6lb but probably has a good chance.

Placed on first two hurdling starts (1m7f/2m) and displayed improvement when upped to 2m3f for recent handicap debut at Bangor, where he travelled strongly before asserting on the run-in; moves up from Class 5 today but seems versatile ground-wise and probably still has more improvement to come.

A regular here in this first season over fences and might have won for a second time in this discipline but for unseating three out over Christmas; never really sighted when 33-1 for the Jack Richards at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in which he was 5lb out of the weights; retains potential and a tongue-tie is added.

Has shown most of his form on Welsh tracks, latterly Chepstow since switched to chasing; ran well when bidding for a 2m3f double and was in a narrow lead, albeit being challenged, when falling three out last time; faces a much stiffer task from 5lb out of the weights at this level.
