Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March having looked the likely winner; leading contender from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort.

Two wins over hurdles last season (3m/3m2f, good/good to soft); has failed to finish in three of his five starts over fences, best run when second at Taunton in December (2m7f, good); could go well but a bit risky.

J: Harry Reed

Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago.

Suffered dip in form after pair of 3m1f Hereford wins towards end of last season but seemed to run well when third of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good; headgear switched) a fortnight ago and is now 2lb below his last winning mark; enters calculations.

All three wins have been over C&D, including in this race last season; shaped as though returning to form when sixth at Bangor last time; back on his last winning mark; one to consider.
