British raider from yard that had a Grade 1 winner here earlier this week; won first four starts over hurdles on varying ground; fine run when 2l behind Maestro Conti in Cheltenham Grade 2 in January (2m1f, soft); beaten 13l when runner up in another Grade 2 at Kempton; beaten 26l in the Triumph on latest; much more needed.

Often front-runner; won his first four hurdle races and placed in three better contests since; gave 2lb when 2l second to Maestro Conti in Grade 2 over C&D on penultimate outing, but the winner left the more positive impression; useful but his limitations are likely to be evident again.

1m4f winner on Flat; has taken well to hurdling, winning his first four races and running up to his best when 2l second to the unbeaten Maestro Conti in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) four weeks ago, headed only on run-in; successful over C&D; likely to give another good account of himself.

Drew clear to win claiming hurdle by 7l at Fontainebleau (1m7f, very soft) on debut in April; now in the care of David Pipe and his proven hurdling ability is a big selling point on this British debut.

Opened British account under strong ride over C&D (good) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that performance but already looked beaten when badly hampered at third-last hurdle at Market Rasen last month and needs to bounce back.

Two-time Flat winner, most recently at Southwell (AW, 1m3f) in April; made a modest start over hurdles when a distant third of five at Hexham (2m; turf debut) just over two weeks ago, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; could improve on that returned to a quicker surface.
