Popped up with a win at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) in August and his chance can't be dismissed, but that was his first win in just over two years and he's inconsistent; only eighth at Perth (2m4f, good) last time.

Exploited a reduced mark and snapped a long losing sequence at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) last month on his second outing following wind surgery; did it comfortably and remains well treated on his old form following a 6lb rise; major player if backing up that latest performance.

Has turned a corner since returning from a break this spring and came good for current stable with front-running win at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; that form looks modest but he ought to give another good account here.

Two handicap hurdle wins this season (2m6f/3m2f, good) and he was a close second of three over hurdles at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) on Monday; there are some talented chasers in his family and he can give another good account if taking to fences at the first attempt.

Emerged from spell in the wilderness with clear win at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in July and was also on target at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) a week ago; has 7lb penalty here but might still be on the upgrade and needs to be taken very seriously in current mood.

He was 3lb higher when winning this 12 months ago and didn't arrive here that day in great form; did finish third at Uttoxeter two runs back so could go well, despite a modest last run when the visor was back on (in which he's effective but now removed).
