Tailed off last time but had appreciated the return to hurdles with a second here (beaten 16l) before a 3l success at Lingfield (2m, heavy); he's able on good to soft ground if he can shrug aside that poor last run.

Badly out of form over fences last season but made all in a five-runner hurdle race at Lingfield (2m, heavy) this month, after a layoff, and remains on a good mark after 3lb rise; unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if able to build on that recent performance.

Form & Verdict
Beaten favourite when only seventh at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month and now 0-5 over hurdles but stayed on from poor position for second at Plumpton (2m, soft) two starts ago and may still have potential.

Fair, four-race maiden on AW Flat for Jamie Osborne last year; runner-up in two of his eight hurdle races for Warren Greatrex but soundly beaten on last two outings, claimed for £6,000 from a seller in May on latest; best watched for now.

Form & Verdict
Three-time hurdle winner on good ground; arguably ran better than eventual 48l defeat suggests when third at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last month, after a layoff, and has become well handicapped; could have a say if that recent outing brought him on.

Won off 10lb higher at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last May but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 10l back on the Flat (1m6f) two weeks ago; has lots to prove and this is his first run beyond 2m5f.

Regressed over hurdles since well held in two Flat starts last August; ran poorly in one previous try in a visor (usually wears cheekpieces), so positives are thin on the ground.

Well beaten on all three hurdling starts (2m1f-2m3f) but has a lowly mark for this handicap debut and good market support will bring him into the equation; sports first-time cheekpieces.
