Record of 3-6 in points and ran well without winning over hurdles; fell on chase debut and made an early mistake over C&D (soft) a month ago but recovered well and stayed on to go close; every chance if avoiding the mistakes.

Three-time Irish point winner whose hurdles form includes a good effort at Carlisle (2m4f) behind a useful rival; fell when switched to chasing last time but has possibilities granted a clear round.

Back from wind surgery he bumped into one well handicapped at Bangor (2m4f, good) and it was a strong race in which he struggled at Haydock; he's no forlorn hope on that penultimate effort.

Back from wind surgery he bumped into one well handicapped at Bangor two weeks ago (2m4f, good); it could be a similar story here and winning this would demand a career best from him.

Out of the handicap when a respectable fourth in a Class 2 at Musselburgh on his penultimate start (2m4f, good to soft) and has had wind surgery since finishing tailed off at Kelso; hard to dismiss.

Form & Verdict
Six runs over fences, the win coming in a three-runner handicap at Cartmel (2m5f, soft); has dropped to a good mark but needs to find a bit on his recent efforts.

J: Sean Bowen

Won over hurdles at Southwell last March and fences at Cartmel last May; has dropped to a dangerous mark but he's been inconsistent over fences since that last win; reverts to hurdles and others are more compelling.

Form & Verdict
Maiden who lost nothing in defeat in his first 3m chase when overhauled late at Ayr (soft; first-time blinkers, retained) in January; likely contender off the same mark with this drop back to 2m4f not remotely concerning.

If he's to make the breakthrough it will probably be over fences (0-9; three seconds) but he wasn't pulling up any trees when last seen in the spring.

Form & Verdict
Seeks a hat-trick but he only beat two rivals at Catterick 12 days ago (2m3f, good to soft) and the odds-on favourite never turned up; likely to need more here off 6lb higher but clearly a contender.
