Form & Verdict
Pulled clear of a subsequent winner when chasing home the well-touted Palladium here in January (soft) and then fairly readily accounted for respectable opposition at Southwell (good to soft); has the penalty but he's looking a nice prospect.

Beat all bar a notable rival on hurdles debut; questionable whether he has improved in justifying favouritism twice since, all out at Huntingdon (2m) latest; however, has a smart pedigree and may do better still.

Form & Verdict
Useful on Flat and his only blip in four hurdle starts came in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham won by the Triumph third East India Dock; responded well to headgear on the Flat and had the cheekpieces back when going close in a Sandown handicap 11 days ago (good to soft); major player, for all that he may lack the potential of Wolf Moon.

Form & Verdict
The form of his bumper win at Ludlow is nothing to shout about and comfortably held since then, over hurdles the last twice; won't mind getting back on drier ground (debut win was on good) but others appeal more; now has tongue tied.

Won a Ludlow bumper on good ground in November and has shown a bit of ability over hurdles; 66-1 and no show on debut under Flat rules at Lingfield (7.6f novice, good to firm) 11 days ago; up in trip and tongue-tie (worn on last three hurdle starts) returns but he's hard to fancy.

Perhaps resented the soft ground here two months ago and her previous efforts at Uttoxeter (good to soft/good) were certainly not devoid of promise; has to step up here but that's feasible.
