Form & Verdict
Placed in his two bumpers and took further minor honours at Southwell (2m5f, good to soft; best form) and Leicester (2m4f, heavy) over hurdles; a respiratory issue was reported last time and he now has his tongue tied; needs major overall improvement to beat Navajo Indy.

Started the season over fences and that didn't go well; his fifth over C&D in January was encouraging but again failed to fire at Ascot; there's a competitive show in him should the new cheekpieces (on for a visor) trigger something.

Began season with two below-par chase runs in the autumn but gave good account when fifth of 17 over hurdles at Newbury (3m, good to soft; first-time visor) last month and will be fine on the slower ground here.

Modest efforts this term, taking chase record to 0-6; rallied to win at Southwell (2m4f) on last hurdles attempt, taking strike-rate in this sphere to 2-5; revival possible, provided he takes well to added visor.

Form & Verdict
Third in his Irish point last April and runner-up in all three bumpers (good/good to soft); about 15l fourth of 12 over C&D (soft) 17 days ago was an encouraging start over hurdles, coming from well off the pace, but another minor honour probably awaits him.

Form & Verdict
Reliable and progressive, winning a Newbury bumper before second over hurdles in 16-runner maidens at Exeter (2m, soft) and Newbury (2m, good to soft); useful brother Navajo Pass stays 2m4f; has Cheltenham 2m5f Grade 1 entry and easily the best form in this.

Began last season in excellent form, notably when winning Gerry Feilden at Newbury (2m, good to soft); off since staying on to snatch third in William Hill Hurdle there (2m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in February but, on that evidence, he's well worth another crack at 2m4f; no headgear today.
