First past the post in two Newton Abbot bumpers (good/soft) last summer; gave encouragement when well held taking minor honours over about 2m4f here and at Bangor in his two races over hurdles; upped in trip for this handicap debut and could find improvement, which he does need.

Won good-ground Cothelstone point for owner-trainer last month; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but his new stable has a good strike-rate in bumpers (17%); shortlisted.

Has won two of his last three races, both over 3m1f here, the latest on soft ground; also won over C&D last March; on a career-high mark (up 4lb for his latest win) but should run well again despite dropping back in trip.

Made it 2-2 here with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month; unproven on soft ground, and only fifth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but that wasn't a bad performance and he has to be respected now back at Catterick.

Returned to peak form when moved back up in trip at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month, justifying good market support in the process; current mark probably demands a career-best performance but he's not fully exposed over staying trips.
