Didn't appear to stay 3m5f at Bangor two starts ago but fared little better when pulled up at Exeter last month back at a trip that should have suited; had been in good form prior to those runs and would hold at least place claims if able to rekindle that earlier spark.

Ended last season in good form, winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) before good second at Haydock (3m1f, good), and ran quite a bit better than eventual 20l defeat suggests when fourth in Cartmel marathon (3m5f, good) last month; no surprise if he features here.

Form & Verdict
Dual slow-ground hurdle winner at up to 3m; has been inconsistent since resuming with an Aintree success last autumn; latest effort at Newcastle (3m, heavy) was a step back in the right direction; on a handy mark if the new equipment can help him run up to his best.

7-39, with three wins over hurdles, but he's hard to predict and was badly out of sorts in the autumn; unseated early on last month's return and reverts to hurdles off his last winning mark, but it's difficult to know what to expect.

Form & Verdict
Put a moderate start under rules behind him when second in a Warwick novice hurdle (2m3f, soft) last November, before big improvement to run out a ready winner at Bangor (2m3f, soft) latest; initial mark suggests he'll need to raise his game again but dam was a 3m2f winner; big player.

Exploited reduced mark under Benjamin Macey at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January and last month's heavy-ground third was perfectly respectable; also suited by much quicker surfaces; probably won't be far away.

Twice a soft-ground hurdle winner at up to 3m; lost his way last season and had slipped to a handy mark and was supported before taking a step back in the right direction at Haydock (3m, good) latest; likely player from the same mark.
