Unplaced two starts back in a hurdle (3200m) at Huntingdon then produced a better result last start when he finished fifth in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 18 lengths. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish.

After finishing out of the money two runs back in a hurdle (3200m) at Huntingdon he did a better job last time out on the flat over 2200m at Southwell All Weather, winding-up in fourth. Right in the mix back over the obstacles.

Is experiencing a win-drought of nearly two and a half years. Finished fourth, beaten 7 lengths, at his latest appearance in a hurdle (3300m) at this track. Rates highly in this field and can find winning form.

Won three starts back but hasn't been able to rediscover that form since, the latest effort a 28 length fourth in a steeplechase (3200m) at Southwell. Ideally placed for a return to form.

When first up from a 67- day layoff last start in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle. Looks to have the job ahead.

Pulled up last start over the jumps at Doncaster after finishing seventh the run before in a 3900m hurdle at Huntingdon. Confidence might be low and looks safely held.

Yet to land a glove in two runs this time in work. Resumed with a eighth in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Kempton Park then was 38 lengths away in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford nearly three weeks ago. Right in the mix if anywhere near his best.

Six-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a sixth in a hurdle (3300m) at this track. This class tougher and others rate better.

Finished second two back in a hurdle (4700m) at Fakenham then could only manage sixth last time in a steeplechase (4200m) at Fakenham, beaten 28 lengths. Hard to fault on her best jumps form.
