Back in good form in new headgear this spring, most notably when winning at Kelso (2m6f, good) two starts ago; will be suited by this longer trip and is probably still on a workable mark; could have a say.

Won this race last year and he improved his hurdling record to 5-13 when beating Jericoacoara over C&D (second-time blinkers) two weeks ago; up 6lb but he was as good as ever with that comfortable success and is a major player again.

4-12 over hurdles (including C&D win); out of sorts when pulled up twice in the winter (wore cheekpieces) but bounced back with creditable third in valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month and has possibilities if in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
Made it 0-7 when tailed off in Carlisle handicap in February, when last seen; however, that was on heavy ground and his previous handicap form (1m7f/2m3f, soft/good to soft) gives him leading claims this afternoon.

Bits of low-level form for Chris Grant and she managed third of eight in a maiden at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) 15 days ago on debut for new yard, albeit 29l behind the runner-up; tried cheekpieces/visor on last two starts; not entirely dismissed in this weak handicap.
