Good fourth in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree is flanked by wins that were straightforward tasks; returns to deeper waters and concedes weight all round having gone up 15lb for penultimate effort. |

Only 1-8 over hurdles but has a generally consistent record and two starts since wind surgery include the Taunton success (2m); French Flat form suggests he's capable of rating higher still in this sphere. |

Juvenile hurdler whose progress culminated in a share of the spoils (dead-heated) at Cheltenham in December; limitations seemingly exposed since, never dangerous in the Fred Winter last time. |

Dead-heated for first with Teriferma here (good to soft) in December with Total Look a close third but travelled much the best of those and would have won outright had he not idled and hung left up the run-in; forget his damp squib of a run on Trials day (Grade 2; well behind Stencil) as he scoped dirty on returning home; he's a good looker with more to offer and the removal of a hood sported in his last three races might not be a bad move. |

Two wins apiece on Flat and under this code, notably in 4yo Listed hurdle; subsequently ran well in substandard Adonis then had a straightforward task at Stratford; this assignment demands best form yet. |

Dual Flat winner who has raised his profile over hurdles, winning the Scottish Triumph at Musselburgh (good to soft) before finishing runner-up in the Grade 2 Adonis at Kempton; he probably faced mission impossible that day in conceding 5lb to a really smart prospect; hard to beat. |

Placed in one French run over 1m4f (very soft); made a positive stable/hurdle debut at Kempton before failing to fire in a Listed race at Musselburgh (again good to soft) when tried in cheekpieces; should be capable of better again and a tongue-tie is added. |
