Huntingdon mares' handicap winner (2m, good) on penultimate start for Chris Gordon just over a year ago, but basically regressive since; 3lb out of the weights this time and not hard to pass over.

C&D seconds either side of January's Leicester win (1m7f, heavy) speak well of his effectiveness around galloping tracks with at least some give underfoot; drying forecast worries more than latest 1lb rise.

Just 1-9 over hurdles but has performed well on both outings this season, more recently when a close second at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; likely to be suited by this stiff, right-handed track (gained his win at Sandown) and the soft ground; commands respect.

Chasing on last five starts has not really worked out; Taunton (2m3f) last February and Warwick (2m) last March saw him register a double over hurdles and he's back to his last winning mark for today's switch in codes but, after three non-completions at about 3m over fences, stamina also has to be proved.
