Form & Verdict
Last season didn't really go to plan and was tried in different types of headgear; added a fifth hurdles win when back to form under Charlie Maggs at Ludlow (2m; second has won since) this month; back up 3lb but still well treated so has to be respected if in the same form here.

Won two claiming hurdes for Archie Watson (1m7f/2m) last spring but was 0-6 in handicaps for current stable afterwards; absent since heavy defeat over 2m3f in November and this reappearance run is his first venture beyond 2m5f; not the percentage call.

Eight-time hurdle winner, the last two in claimers in the spring; his three chase starts haven't been devoid of promise but he was only sixth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time and needs something extra.

Launched chasing career with two wins in the autumn (2m/2m3f. good to soft/good) and generally remained in good form until end of last season; looked a non-stayer over 2m7f on latest outing and now drops back in trip with usual cheekpieces refitted; recent 3lb drop gives him a decent chance.

J: Jamie Brace

Has done well since switched to this discipline (winning twice) and his blowouts have come in strong races, latterly in the 2m4f Greatwood Gold Cup here three weeks ago; more exposed than some in here and he's unraced past 2m5f, but can be competitive off this mark.

Winning hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f) in November but he hasn't progressed and was pulled up in a Market Rasen chase before finishing well beaten on return to hurdles; plenty to prove with cheekpieces added.
