Back to winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in May and largely in good form since over hurdles; made mistakes when last of eight on his chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m1f) eight days ago and not discounted quickly returned to this sphere.

Record of 2-18 over hurdles and latest fourth at Uttoxeter wasn't too far off his best form; however, he's Flat bred so what he'll make of fences remains to be seen.

Nine-race maiden on Flat, best form when runner-up in a couple of Class 6 handicaps over 1m2f; chance of going one better depends on whether he improves for hurdling.

Down the field when 9-2 for last month's handicap hurdle debut over 2m4f at Ayr; however, trainer's representative reported he may have been unsuited by the soft, heavy in places ground; showed promise in three juvenile hurdles towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft) and this 4yo retains potential back down in trip and back on better ground.

0-9 on the Flat but he's shown promise on all three hurdle starts and has potential off his opening mark judged on his close second at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; receives handy 4yo allowance and he could have a big part to play if seeing out this new trip.

Nearly 6l too good for Mojito Des Mottes in taking a Market Rasen juvenile last December (2m1f, good to soft), but sold out of Warren Greatrex's yard after a moderate handicap debut; this wouldn't be any easier, but no surprise were the wind surgery, tongue tie and/or move to his top new connections to prove transformative.

Juvenile hurdler who had wind surgery prior to justifying favouritism at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) two months ago; considering his Flat mark, he looks well treated in this first crack at a handicap hurdle; highly respected.

Developed into fairly useful 1m2f Flat handicapper this season; raced far too freely when second on both hurdling starts, more recently when 2-11 favourite at Stratford (2m, good) last month, where he built up a big lead before capitulating in the home staight; has plenty of ability but comes with risk attached; tongue-tie refitted.
