Very lightly raced 8yo who kept on well for third at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December and also ran well when second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) last month; open to improvement over this new trip; one to consider. |

Won a bumper and placed in two hurdle races in 2022; much better effort switched to handicaps and fences this season when third of nine over 2m7f at Taunton (good to soft) in a first-time tongue-strap (retained) in December; low mileage for a stable which won this race in 2022. |

Is 0-5 over fences but has finished second at Cheltenham on all three handicap starts, the latest over 3m4f last month when finishing well clear of the third; was reported to have lost a shoe, so perhaps the run can be upgraded a little; won a 3m handicap hurdle at Wexford last May; suited by good ground; could go well. |

Left disappointing stable debut a long way behind when scoring at Doncaster (3m, soft) last month but raced rather lazily before eventually finishing well for third at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) on latest outing; may benefit from today's step up in trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task. |
