Ran creditably at Hereford (3m1f) last time, bouncing back from two poor efforts, but this looks a tougher assignment; still seeking first handicap success above Class 5.

Dual hurdle winner on good ground this summer (2m7f/3m2f); last month's chasing defeat is probably best overlooked (didn't jump well enough) but he has high mileage for his age and might be vulnerable in this grade.

Two C&D wins (soft) last March and, having dropped back down the weights, she returned to form when going close at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; every chance she'll be bang there once more.

Point winner who goes handicapping off a lowly mark and shouldn't be written off, but he's shown very little on his three hurdle starts and improvement is necessary.

No threat to front pair when keeping on for modest third here (2m4f, good) on recent handicap debut but some positives can be drawn from that performance and he might be seen in a better light over today's longer trip.

Made the frame four times in a row in September-January this season and well treated on the pick of that form; drying ground may help but he's been well beaten on his last three starts and needs to turn things around.

J: Harriet Tucker

Got off the mark on his penultimate start, when getting racing early at Southwell (2m4f, good) and seeing it out well; tactics were similar when, after a 5lb rise, he was almost 5l second in a C&D (good) conditionals event recently; should be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't achieved much in bumpers and novice/maiden hurdles (2m), and improvement is needed off his opening mark; however, his dam won at up to 2m4f and the first-time hood could help him settle now up in trip; not ruled out, and the betting may be informative.
