His form has been a bit up and down over hurdles but he made it 2-8 in this sphere when making all on stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) four weeks ago; up 7lb but he justified favouritism with that comfortable success and that was after almost six months off; key player.

Ludlow novice winner in May, but last month's keeping-on Bangor handicap second (2m1f, good) rates better form still; 2m6f trip appeared more the issue than slow ground at Cartmel before (best French Flat form came on soft turf), and this intermediate distance might just be perfect; player.

Three-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles when comfortably seeing off Coventry over C&D 17 days ago; doesn't need the ground soft (as that day) but this may take more winning after a 7lb rise.
