A three-time hurdles winner (around 2m) last season; failed to go on in three starts over fences this term and he was pulled up back in this sphere at Warwick (2m5f) last month; player in this grade if first-time cheekpieces spark a revival.

Won three novice hurdles last season and was highly tried in his defeats; it's been a mixed start over fences (after wind surgery), let down by his jumping on handicap debut latest; probably worthy of this mark and he's back over hurdles.

Half-brother to Tommy's Oscar and cost £50,000 after winning seven-runner Irish point (yielding ground); perhaps denied by greenness on hurdling debut at Carlisle and the winner has since added two further novices to his tally; looks promising.

Point/novice hurdle winner; his second to Jordans Cross on chase debut at Aintree (2m, good) reads really well and, although yet to build on that, he's delivered another couple of solid efforts (heavy ground perhaps not ideal latest when behind The Grafter); can surely win a race off this mark and stable has landed the past two renewals of this.

Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins include a Punchestown handicap in October (2m, good to yielding) and faced a tough task when eighth at Cheltenham later that month; ground would have been too soft when running poorly on the Flat last week; good chance at this level if bringing her best form.

Thriving this winter, getting off the mark at Chelmsford last month and winning three C&D handicaps since; latest narrow success has been handsomely advertised by the runner-up (two easy wins since) and a 4lb rise looks generous; sound claims of completing the five-timer.
