Was out of the money last time out when he finished fourth on his jumps debut in a maiden hurdle (3270m) at Newbury. Prior to that run the five-year-old had gone across to the L Wadham stable. Likely to play a major role.

First up from a spell today for a new yard and is making his jumps debut. Look for a bold run.

Comes here 27 days after a 44 length seventh first-up in a maiden hurdle (4100m) at Huntingdon at just his second day at the races. Tested in this line-up.

Finished a 12 length fifth in a maiden hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle when second-up and has been safely held at both runs this campaign. Not showing a lot and looking to others.

Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a maiden hurdle (3270m) at Newbury then filled a minor prize again last start in a maiden hurdle (3300m) at Newbury, beaten 2.75 lengths. Well-placed to take this out.

Well held last start finishing 46 lengths off the winner in a hurdle (3270m) at Newbury. Struggling for form and looking to others.

Returned from a spell on December 5 with a second, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Leading chance.
