Hasn't raced since finishing 32 lengths away in fifth in a hurdle (3200m) at Worcester eight months ago. Has ability and worth including.

Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a hurdle (4600m) at Bangor-On-Dee then filled a minor prize again last start in a hurdle (4600m) at Bangor-On-Dee, beaten 2.5 lengths. Ready to bounce back to winning form.

Did well to finish second two back in a hurdle (5400m) at Sedgefield but could only manage fourth in a hurdle (4900m) at Haydock Park last time, arriving 4.5 lengths behind the winner. Ideally placed to return to form.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest fifth in a hurdle (3950m) at Hereford. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Finished a modest fourth in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford last start. That came after he failed to complete the course two runs ago. Cannot be written off.

Was not beaten far when second two starts back before a disappointing sixth in a hurdle (4400m) at Stratford-On-Avon last time. Great chance to atone.

Returned from a 135-day spell last start with a solid third in a hurdle (4320m) at Newton Abbot, with today's rider Freddie Keighley steering. Key runner who is expected to feature again.

Was pulled up in a hurdle over 4700m at Fakenham at the last run before a break. Others are preferred.

Struggled to find form at the end of last preparation. Resuming after two months break. Will need to produce a great deal to figure in this field. Prefer to see.

Finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a steeplechase (4900m) at Carlisle, with today's rider Lewis Stones aboard. Looks tested in this line-up.

Finished eighth the start before last in a maiden hurdle (3830m) at Fontwell Park then could only manage ninth most recently in a maiden hurdle (4000m) at Ffos Las. Certainly worth including.
