Well-beaten third of 14 at Ayr (2m, heavy) last month on third hurdle start and will be vulnerable if any of these are above average; however, his rivals arrive with questions to answer and he's not ruled out.

Held on gamely to win heavy-ground maiden at Carlisle (2m1f) in February but was soundly beaten in both handicaps since, the latter his seasonal/chase debut last month; reverts to hurdling with a point to prove.

Won over 2m here last March but nothing in two runs this season and there are stamina doubts; the return of a hood (fitted for that win) could help.

Lightly raced 4yo who was close up in the second of two handicap hurdles (2m3f, good) but was poised to better that by some way when misjudging the second last and coming down on his chase debut at Bangor (2m1f, soft) 22 days ago; major player if none the worse.

6 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Something to prove having been pulled up on his hurdle debut at Sedgefield last month; however, he reportedly had an irregular heartbeat and retains potential in view of his good bumper form (including on heavy ground here); could play a leading role if leaving last time behind.

Dual chase winner (2m5f/2m3f) this spring, after a break; didn't see out 3m on latest outing but drops back in trip for this switch back to hurdling and his current mark is workable; respected.

Continued his progress, turning over an odds-on stablemate of The Flying Poet at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; from 6lb lower; fences in the home straight were omitted) three weeks ago; his win in a small field there the time before was over nearly 2m7f; looks hard to beat in hat-trick mission, if proving equally effective over 3m.

Knuckled down to get the better of the favourite in a tight finish here (2m6f, good; 7-2) a fortnight ago; that was his first win since his bumper days, so a nominal 3lb rise seems fair; dropping back in trip is unlikely to pose too much of a problem.
