Off mark over hurdles at 15th attempt, battling well to fend off Try Them in C&D (good) maiden in July, but found things tougher (albeit in a good race) when back in a handicap here last month and still needs to prove he can handle a mark this high.

Useful Flat racer who kept on for third over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; well beaten twice since but had excuses last time (heavy ground; finished lame) and will be dangerous here if back on song; cheekpieces left off this time.

Two heavy defeats among his three hurdle starts but in between he caught the eye keeping on for third at Wetherby (2m, soft); has potential off opening jumps mark in view of his useful Flat form, and his four wins in that code came in cheekpieces which he wears over hurdles for the first time.

Fair Flat racer who launched hurdling career with two fairly promising 2m runs this season; took a backward step here last time but moves up in trip for this handicap hurdle debut and could be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces (he had a good record in headgear on the Flat).
