Runner-up on debut in British maiden point (2m4f, good to soft) in December and changed hands for £80,000 later that month; new trainer has won two of the last five runnings of this bumper and it will be no surprise if he has a big say on this rules debut.

Point runner-up and bumper winner who won two novice hurdles last season (2m/2m1f, good to soft), including here, and also ran well on soft ground; beaten just under 4l by Alnilam when second of three on his recent chase and seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) but he's 5lb better off with the winner today and could improve for that latest run; firmly in calculations.

Plenty to like about his wins in six-runner handicap chases (3m, good to soft) at Doncaster and Exeter; heavy ground might be the excuse when he was hammered by Holloway Queen at Newbury on latest start; has a competitive mark if back on song but going beyond 3m is something new.
