Promising second over C&D (good to soft) on hurdling debut in August and he landed the odds when beating eight rivals on his return visit (good) last month; that was a workmanlike success but he showed the right attitude and is respected under a penalty.

Like The Bellhop, both his wins have been at Fontwell (good/good to soft); however, he was well behind his stablemate when both were making their handicap debuts at Sandown and this 4yo didn't look straightforward that day.

Won at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in September on second hurdle start and followed up there in October (2m1f, good to soft) in a race that worked out well; heavy ground may have been too much in Grade 2 at Cheltenham in November; unraced on soft; he could have potential off his opening mark.

0-8 on the Flat for Jessica Harrington but he has some useful form in that sphere including when runner-up in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) in August; could have a good future at this new discipline and he needs a close look on stable debut.

Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender.

Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented.

Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand.

Ran to fairly useful level when runner-up in consecutive 1m handicaps in May/June; made a promising start over hurdles when runner-up at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month but he took a strong hold before being pulled up at Chepstow (2m, good) 15 days ago; needs to bounce back after that but he's a key player on his penultimate form.
