Ran over fences on most recent jumps outing in March but a good spell on the Flat since includes a Catterick win (1m4f, good to firm) and a close fourth at Newbury (1m4f, good); has dropped a fair way in the weights since last seen over hurdles and he's respected.

Four-time hurdle winner (2m-extended 2m4f); has returned from a break with two solid Flat seconds but disappointed over hurdles at Fakenham in May in between; player if back to his best.

Had a good spell over hurdles between May and July, winning twice over C&D on good ground, and he wasn't too far away on the return to the Flat at Chester (1m4f) in August; likely to give another good account.

Hasn't always needed as many as two runs back to hit his straps, so arguably has a bit to prove now having posted only well-beaten thirds on his two starts this summer; has returned to his last winning mark, though.

Long in the tooth and rather inconsistent nowadays but only 2lb higher than for course win (2m5f, good) in October and might have needed the run when well-held third (behind Two To Tango) over that trip here last month; could have a say.

Form & Verdict
Capable of better form than he showed on the Flat last time out and his win record isn't the most robust but he should be thereabouts with Scintillante on their C&D run in July and can't dismiss on that form.

Has 1-54 career strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022; this year's Flat handicap form is uninspiring but he'll appreciate this ease in grade and is worth a glance in the betting.

Has poor 1-53 strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022, and was soundly beaten on both outings this year (11.4f/1m2f); might be perked up by the refitted blinkers, though, and Billy Loughnane is a good booking.

Form & Verdict
Good jumps pedigree and although he showed only minor promise on his debut he did very well to be involved in a tight finish over C&D in June, the winner going on to win his next three on the Flat (now on a mark of 89); looks likely to improve plenty.
