Acts on any ground; ran as if something was amiss on penultimate start; consistent otherwise and ran creditably at Sandown (2m7f) latest; each-way possibilities in first-time tongue-tie.

Ran creditably sole start here; won at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) on reappearance in just his second handicap and stuck to his task extremely well when going close in a major handicap at Haydock (3m, good to soft) later in November; something seemed amiss at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but the Haydock performance ensures that he needs a second look.

Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March but a return to very patient tactics paid dividends at Bangor (2m, good) last month, where he cut through the field to cause a 33-1 surprise; his tendency to race too freely remains a concern but a recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable.

Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March; on a tempting mark now but his tendency to race far too freely remains a worry, and others are much less risky.

Winner of bumper (soft) and maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft); his free-going tendencies have remained evident over fences (0-4) but he might be happier back hurdling and this track should suit his style if they do go forward with him.

2-6 over fences this season, the wins gained at Huntingdon (2m, good) and Musselburgh (2m, good to soft); gave another good account when close third of five at Ascot (2m1f, good) last month and should be fine on this left-handed track; good chance.

Two wins and a second to show from his completed starts over fences; got up late at Musselburgh (good to soft) last time in a style which suggests there could be more to come now racing beyond around 2m for the first time over fences; leading claims for last year's winning yard.
