Not far away recently finishing third at Kelso two runs back which was followed with a second last start in a steeplechase (4100m) at Bangor-On-Dee. Looks a key chance on best and expected to go close.

Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a hurdle (3200m) at Ayr. Improved and found the frame last start in a hurdle (3900m) at Wetherby, beaten 5.5 lengths. Right in the mix if she is at her best.

Yet to find form after two runs this time in work. Last time out in a steeplechase (3300m) at Ayr on the back of a first-up fifth in a hurdle (4100m) at Ayr. Looking elsewhere.

Unplaced in two runs this prep, both over the jumps. Finished seventh when fresh from a spell then was 8 lengths away in sixth more recently in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby. Right in the mix if anywhere near his best.

Yet to bother the judge this prep. Two runs back when resuming. Finished sixth at the latest appearance in a hurdle (4000m) at Hexham, beaten 39 lengths. Big task ahead.

Ran in a hurdle (4800m) at Musselburgh last time out but failed to finish. Worth another chance and can figure in the finish.

Bounced back with a solid second in a hurdle (3900m) at Catterick last start. That came after he two runs ago. Can add to the better recent result.

Keeps improving with each run this campaign. Good last start as favourite when second in a hurdle (4100m) at this track. Looks a leading contender and bold showing expected.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3100m) at Musselburgh, finishing ninth when partnered by today's rider Ross Chapman. That run was the first for the M A Barnes stable. Needs to go up a level.
