Returned from a spell last start with a strong win in a hurdle (5200m) at Warwick. Boasts strong second-up stats and looks perfectly placed to add to his record. Requires further improvement.

Resumed after a 125-day spell last start with a strong win in a hurdle (4830m) at Wetherby. Big chance to go two-for-two this prep.

Not raced for four months. Closed off last preparation when sixth in a hurdle (4900m) at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Could pose a serious challenge.

Was far too good when resuming from a 103-day layoff last start, scoring by 7 lengths in a hurdle (4900m) at Doncaster. Fitter and will be tough to beat.

Recorded a big win two months ago in a hurdle (4700m) at Ascot. That result was on the back of a solid third in a hurdle (4260m) at Ludlow. Likely to figure prominently again.

Returned from a 96-day spell last start with a solid second in a hurdle (5200m) at Warwick, with today's rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker aboard. Can feature again after that bright return.

Has been in strong form this campaign having missed the frame only once. Comes into this in winning form having scored by 2.25 lengths over 4900m in a hurdle at this track last time. Found best form now and looks interesting.

Finished seventh two back in a hurdle (4000m) at Sandown Park. Made amends last time to fill a minor placing in a hurdle (4600m) at Market Rasen, beaten 1.75 lengths. Big task ahead.

Found Jakar Du Moulin way too good last start in a hurdle (4900m) at Doncaster, finishing 7 lengths behind that dominant winner. Prepared to just watch this time.
