Form & Verdict
Half-brother to stable's very useful jumper Elvis Mail, among others; promising second on debut over C&D (soft) in November; failed to build on that when soundly beaten third over C&D (heavy) last month but he's still in with a leading shout today.

Runner-up on debut in bumper at Ayr (2m, soft) in November; hasn't progressed since but he's from a useful family his trainer has done well with, and he could give a good account on hurdle debut.
