14/1 (Won)

Form: P992-0

Last run: 182 days

W: 10st 6lb

6 yo Gelding

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
Only worthwhile form is his 6l second on handicap debut at Kempton two starts back (2m, good), after which he was tailed off at Stratford; hardly the solid option now sent over fences, though clearly has some ability.

Form & Verdict
Four-time hurdle winner and off the mark over fences at just his second attempt at Worcester in September (2m, good); however, does have his quirks and typically ran no race next time; couldn't put a line through him but not one to trust.

C&D winner just over a year ago and signs of a revival with two better runs returned here of late, including when not far behind Rocks Up Late and Alshadhian last month; player if reproducing those efforts on better terms.

Form & Verdict
Held every chance before last-fence fall on chasing debut in March (2m, good) but mistakes have continued to hinder his progress; the ability is there to feature off this mark should he deliver a clear round.

Weakened to be beaten 22l last time at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and all his three wins have been at about 2m; wouldn't be the obvious answer no matter how well the new headgear works.

Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark.

Won this (good to soft) last year off 4lb lower, beating Kingcormac (second) and Greenways (pulled up); scored on heavy at Leicester next time and largely consistent since; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and has dipped below that last winning mark; player.

Form & Verdict
Won a bumper for Fergal O'Brien and left that yard after finishing second in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in July; perhaps not at home on the heavy ground when pulled up on stable debut 19 days ago; over fences, he's pulled up in two hunter chases and finished a remote fifth.

His sixth defeat over hurdles when a beaten favourite on his stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) but did run well behind one who has since completed a hat-trick; up 3lb but bred to make a chaser and he's of strong interest.
