Has won two of his last three races over hurdles, both on good ground, over 2m at Cartmel and last time over 2m5f at Kelso; up 8lb (3lb higher than last time) but has won off higher marks in the past; chance.

Up the weights for back-to-back wins at Hexham (2m4f, good) and Kelso (2m, good to soft) and he's not made a serious impact in last two starts; ran respectably in Class 2 at Carlisle (fourth of 12) last time but he needs to find more on this drop back in grade.

3-10 over hurdles (2m-2m5f, good); improving 6yo who made a good start for this stable when a close fifth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and duly built on that when justifying favouritism at Warwick (2m5f) the following month, both times ridden by Megan Bevan; drop back to 2m shouldn't be too much of an issue and he's a big player off 4lb higher.
