Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race.

Ex-Irish; yet to win for new yard, but fair second of five at Lingfield when dropped back to 2m last time (heavy); should improve on back at 2m4f.

Back over fences last time and had previously won a big-field Gowran handicap hurdle by some 9l; however, that was off 10lb lower and this is a harder assignment.
