Returned to form with a pleasing third in a hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton last start. That came after he two starts ago. All set to return to the winner's list.

Hasn't raced since finishing 33 lengths away in fifth in a hurdle (3200m) at this track three months ago. Prepared to watch this time.

Went for a spell off a poor run to last campaign, then disappointing fresh in a hurdle (4100m) at Leicester. Fitter but hard to recommend on last couple.

Encountered a small field last start and found Bollin Thou far too good in a hurdle (3900m) at Lingfield, finishing 12 lengths away when the judge called a halt. Another bold showing likely.

Unwanted last few and has run to expectations, beaten out of sight. Disappointing again last time and others preferred.

Finished sixth two back in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Bounced back last time to fill a minor placing in a hurdle (3800m) at Warwick, beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely to figure in the outcome.

Returns from a spell of nearly two years. Last appeared in a hurdle (5020m) at Plumpton and did well but found a couple better. Has since switched to the Barry Brennan yard. Looks tested in this line-up.

Finished sixth two runs ago in a hurdle (3200m) at this track then wound up in sixth most recently in a hurdle (4100m) at Southwell. Hard to have on recent efforts.
