Point/hurdles winner who hasn't strictly improved in two chase attempts but may build on latest effort (3m) as he remains unexposed at this distance; visor replaces the cheekpieces worn of late; in the mix.

T: Ben Pauling

2m4f hurdle winner; weakened into fourth after making most of the running on chasing debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft; jumped right on occasions) and moves up from Class 5 today; completely unexposed beyond about 2m4f under rules and this return to a right-handed track is an obvious move but others have more pressing claims.

Underwhelming under rules until handicap debut at Huntingdon (upped from 2m to 2m5f, good) two weeks ago in which he started favourite in seven-runner race and won in clearcut style under 5lb claimer from I'm Your Buckaroo; raised 5lb but could have more to offer.

Very minor form in his first three races (2m-2m4f) but has only raced on soft or heavy ground and has different conditions here for handicap debut; market should be revealing.

Progressed over hurdles earlier this year (better for blinkers), last time edging home in a 3m1f good-ground handicap at Plumpton (5lb lower); appeals as one with plenty more to offer and had wind surgery ahead of this chasing debut; wasn't great the last time he tried cheekpieces but perhaps unwise to read much into that.

Ready win when beating seven others at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) on his second start chasing and looked set to defy a penalty when coming down at the last over C&D (good to soft) in October; jumping has been a bit of an issue since and he was narrowly in front when again coming down at the final fence back at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) one month ago; hood joins his regular tongue-tie.

Won readily by 6l here (2m3f, good) in October and was unlucky not to follow up at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) soon afterwards; managed only fourth over C&D on last two appearances but current mark is workable if this race is run to suit his usual patient tactics.

Yet to win and has a regressive profile, with recent form figures of PUP hardly a ringing endorsement; wind surgery, coupled with the fact that he competes from a lowly mark at a realistic level, are the positives; others preferred.
