J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Won over hurdles at Hereford in May and followed up on the Flat over this C&D (good to firm); it's disconcerting he was pulled up on his chase debut at Stratford three weeks ago but he may well bounce back and play a leading role reverting to this code.

Made all over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good) last month and followed up on the Flat 17 days ago; not bred for fences but evidently in good nick; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on chasing debut.

Didn't look an easy ride at Yarmouth (1m6f, soft) in June but still managed to win readily; has winning form on Polytrack and is likely to make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise.

In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance.

Last win was for Hugo Palmer at Newcastle (1m2f) in September 2023; plenty of placed efforts for this trainer, including when runner-up at Newcastle (12.5f; winner has won twice since) 19 days ago; others are better equipped for win purposes.
