Two runs this prep have been moderate. Kicked off with an unplaced effort in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Southwell then weighed-in fourth last start in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Southwell. All set to reverse the recent form.

Edging towards a win based on better performances at his last couple of outings, the most recent a second in a hurdle (3400m) at Sedgefield. Key runner.

Finished seventh two back in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Southwell. Bounced back last time to finish third in a hurdle (3320m) at Market Rasen, beaten 0.6 lengths. Can return to winning ways.

Failed to finish at the final run last campaign over 3300m at this track. Can measure up on best form.

Turned in a strong run resuming, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner when fourth in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton in soft going. A threat in this line up.

Hasn't won for more than a year but ran a good race 44 days ago when fifth in a hurdle (3300m) at Market Rasen. Looks one of the each way hopes in this race.

Finished last campaign in ordinary fashion and was no better resuming 48 days ago in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford. Looks safely held again.

Well held two starts back and wasn't any better in a hurdle (3200m) at this track in latest effort. Winless over this trip and will need to lift.
