Form & Verdict
Record of 1-16 but his win came off 1lb higher at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last spring and he was a creditable third there in his final run last season; returns after 201 days off but he's effective on Tapeta and needs watching in market.

All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

Form & Verdict
Won a claiming hurdle at Clairefontaine (2m, very soft) last summer but he's struggled in three runs over hurdles for this yard and has been well held back on the Flat last twice; his latest 7l second at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) was a respectable effort but this is a big drop back in trip and others are more persuasive.
