Form & Verdict
0-8 as hurdler compared to 5-15 over fences; missed 381 days before well beaten over hurdles in May, after which he fell twice in chases this summer, so he comes into this under a cloud as well as off a reduced mark.

Form & Verdict
Comfortable maiden win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July; ran well next time but well beaten when 16-1 for handicap debut in quite valuable race at Worcester (2m4f, soft; tongue-tie fitted) last month; the tongue-tie is removed and the ground should not be soft, so there may well be much more interest in him this time.

T: Fergal O’Brien

Maiden hurdle winner last summer; had to settle for second when well backed for recent chasing debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) but that was his first run for nearly seven months and he was nicely clear of the third; only 1lb higher here and will be hard to beat if combination of refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces has any positive effect.
