Two C&D wins among multiple successes, the latest over hurdles last May; ran well for a long way over C&D in April on return from another break, and a good run looks more likely from him than some.

Form & Verdict
0-6 for current stable since December but gave good account when fourth in first-time visor at Warwick (2m, good; just behind Kado De Joie) three weeks ago; has the services of Sean Bowen again today and remains on a good mark; should cope if the ground remains soft; shortlisted.

J: Ben Jones

Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles.

Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered.

Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
0-10 over hurdles when trained in Ireland and, following a break, was safely held on recent stable debut at Warwick (2m, good); that run might have done him good but others have more pressing claims here; hood refitted; suited by good and soft ground.

Still not convinced he's too accommodatingly handicapped despite a further 1lb drop, but last month's Uttoxeter third (2m, soft) represented a good step up on his British debut effort, and all other place finishes (in Ireland) were gained over right-handers about as sharp as this track.
