Form & Verdict
Off the mark for new stable at second attempt, at Ayr (2m4f, good) in November; that was a three-runner race in which the favourite fell but a subsequent 3lb rise ought to be manageable and he'll be fine on the slower ground here.

Form & Verdict
Won by 10l off today's mark at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) just over a year ago and ran well here on one of his three hurdling starts in the autumn but is far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily; chance probably depends on what sort of mood he's in.
