Won the G2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan in February by 2.5L over 4400m. Stayed on into ninth in last seasons' Coral Cup here last season. More than capable over this trip.

Tried to make most of the running when runner-up at Chepstow in a handicap hurdle beaten 0.75L. G2 winner at this course last season. Could find the placings but not obviously well handicapped.

Three-time hurdle winner following a neck success in a 4800m premier handicap hurdle at Haydock Park last November. Interesting after a break.

Handicap hurdle winner at Huntingdon in January by 0.5L over 5000m despite hanging right-handed. Interesting off a higher mark.

Runner-up beaten a neck in a handicap hurdle at Naas over 4600m. Down the field last season in the Martin Pipe here. Needs to find improvement.

Back to back handicap hurdle winners. Most recently at Sandown over 4700m by 0.75L after making most of the running. Unexposed and could defy the weight rise.

Showed plenty on seasonal return when third beaten beaten 5.25L here over course and distance. Has the ability to play a big role for the Skelton team.

Won his last five starts including a 3.75L success in the 4800m Scottish Stayers' Novices' Hurdle at Musselburgh. Cannot be underestimated.

Pulled up after a 322 day break at Sandown in a handicap hurdle. Much better latest when fourth beaten 13L at Haydock despite jumping errors. Down a little in the weights and not entirely dismissed.

Fourth beaten 10L in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton over 4900m. This is more competitive and needs a lot more.

Third in the G2 Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock Park over 4900m beaten 7L. Winner of a Listed Mares' hurdle three starts back. Consistent enough and interesting back to a handicap.

1.75L winner in a handicap hurdle at Ayr over 4900m in January. Likely to need more in this level.

Won a big field handicap hurdle at Leopardstown two starts by 0.75L. Well beaten in a Listed handicap since. More needed here.

Well beaten in the G3 Red Mills Trial hurdle over an inadequate trip. Runner-up over 4700m at Leopardstown beaten 0.75L three starts back (handicap). More than capable going back up in distance.

Won on handicap debut at Naas by a neck over 4600m in first time cheekpieces. Completely unexposed and cheekpieces are replaced by blinkers for the first time so holds claims.

Won by 2.5L at Kempton Park by 4200m in a handicap hurdle two starts back. Disappointed subsequently. Needs a market check.

Won a Listed handicap hurdle at Naas over 4000m three starts back. Well beaten in the G1 Slaney Novices' hurdle at the same track. Not ruled out back handicapping.

Bidding for a hat-trick after an impressive 5.5L win a Haydock Park over 4900m in a handicap hurdle. Progressive type and holds claims.

Since switching to handicaps he has wracked up a four-timer. Most recently at Newbury by 5.5L over 4900m. Upped in the weights but further improvement cannot be ruled out.

Beaten 5.5L by Champagne Chic at Haydock last time out. Is now better off at the weights with that rival. Not ruled out.

Third on debut for Nicky Henderson at Huntingdon beaten 4.5L after a 369 day break. Fourth in this race 2024 off a much higher mark and improvement expected.

Second beaten 0.5L in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon over 5000m after jumping really let him down. Likes to make the running but needs a lot more here.

Runner-up at Musselburgh beaten 2.75L over 4800m in February. This is much more competitive and unlikely to feature.

Well beaten at Plumpton in a handicap hurdle recently. Not an obvious chance.
