Finished a modest fourth in a hurdle (3800m) at this track last start. That came after he failed to complete the course two runs ago. Confidence looks to be down.

Was unplaced in a hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton two runs back. Comes here just 8 days after he made amends with a 3.5 lengths win in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle. Ideally placed to go back-to-back.

Resumed from a layoff with a minor placing last time out in a hurdle (3900m) at Huntingdon. Second-up record reads well, with two wins from four runs. Has the ability to play a big role.

Was disappointing first up last start in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick on March 8. Fitter but others look better placed.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton but could only manage seventh in a hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton last time, arriving 12 lengths behind the winner. Will take beating if at his best.

Was at long odds last time in a maiden hurdle (3910m) at Lingfield but failed to finish. Not likely to threaten in this field.

Filled a minor prize two back in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton then could only manage sixth last time in a hurdle (3200m) at Wetherby, beaten 24 lengths. Tough to stop on best form.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4300m) at this track. Finished third last start in a much better performance in a hurdle (3500m) at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Likely to play a major role.
