Yet to bother the judge this prep. Two runs ago when resuming. Finished tenth at the latest appearance in a hurdle (4100m) at Newbury, beaten 59 lengths. Confidence looks to be down.

Edging towards a win based on better performances at his last couple of outings, the most recent a third in a hurdle (4300m) at Ascot. Top chance to break through.

Hasn't threatened in two runs back from a spell. Beaten 37L second-up in a hurdle (4200m) at Kempton Park. Looks tested again here.

Went down by 0.8 lengths to finish second in a hurdle (4700m) at Sandown Park as favourite last start. Top hope again here.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4000m) at Aintree then again missed out in a hurdle (4000m) at Aintree last start. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Accomplished jumper who resumed from a 250- day spell recently and failed to complete the course in a steeplechase (4800m) at Sandown Park. Big task ahead.

Has returned in terrific form this campaign. Placed when resuming in a hurdle (3900m) at Chepstow then scored last time by 4 lengths in a hurdle (4600m) at Lingfield most recently. Can add to the recent impressive results.

Disappointing when eighth last start in a hurdle (4100m) at Newbury after finishing second at Plumpton two starts back. Makes appeal on best form.

Finished second, albeit 9 lengths from the winner, two months ago in a small field in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter. Definite threat.

Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a hurdle (4600m) at Exeter. Improved and finished second last time in a hurdle (4700m) at Chepstow, beaten a neck. Ideally placed return to winning form.
