Form & Verdict
Looks the standout candidate on form; Flat winner at Lingfield last year for James Ferguson; by virtue of that needs to give weight away to a lot of these but his second-placed finishes at Sligo and Galway in maiden hurdles (both on good) make him the one to beat.

Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft).

Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer.
