Out of a fairly useful Flat winner; shaped with significant promise and was beaten only about 6l when sixth of seven at Doncaster (good) two months ago; this race looks easier; likely contender.

Sedgefield bumper winner last May (2m1f, good to firm); off the mark over hurdles with a wide-margin success on same track last time (2m4f, good; made all; left clear two out); the one to beat.

Half-brother to useful hurdler Deepsand and fairly useful hurdler Our Thomas; won good-ground point bumper by 5l at Tranwell on debut in March and makes his rules debut in a modest race; interesting.

Got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle in February and made a winning chase debut over C&D (good) 17 days ago; only four of the 13 managed to complete but a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up.

Won a novice handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February (2m3f, soft); creditable second over 3m at Doncaster next time but was disappointing with cheekpieces tried at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft; reportedly never travelled); headgear retained for chase debut.

Won at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month on third handicap start and 14l second of seven at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) 13 days later; kept to a similar trip, today's sharper track could be a positive, and this lightly raced 6yo wears first-time cheekpieces; remains open to improvement.

Well beaten at triple-digit odds in three Uttoxeter novice hurdles (2m-2m4f) this season; has more realistic chance to get competitive in this handicap but still needs to take a big step forward.
