Improved from 10L Ascot third behind Mondoui'boy at Plumpton 32 days ago. More needed in a better race.

On a four-timer. Seamlessly stepped up in class when a 4L winner of the G2 Prestige Novices' Hurdle (4900m) at Haydock Park in February. More needed but he is progressing.

Off since 27L fifth in the G1 Golden Cygnet Novice Hurdle (4425m) at Leopardstown 67 days ago. Cheekpieces added but hard to fancy.

An 8L winner to win for a second time at Ffos Las (4000m) in February. In good form but others rate better.

Caused an upset when storming clear in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle (4800m) at Cheltenham. That took his unbeaten record to three this season. Could continue to progress. Fancied to repeat Cheltenham result.

Completed a hat-trick in the G2 Classic Novices' Hurdle (4100m) at Cheltenham. Only sixth in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle (4800m) at Cheltenham, beaten 13L. No surprise to see him back in form.

Two-time winner this season. Respectable 5.75L fourth when stepped up in class for the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle (4800m). Could step forward.

Major disappointment in G1 Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle (4200m) at Cheltenham. Proved his class in the G1 Challow Novices' Hurdle (4100m) at Newbury in December. Big chance if bouncing back.

Won over 5100m at Hereford in February. Only second at Uttoxeter over 4000m last month. Others have better credentials.

Off for 174 days. Last seem winning a LR (4224m) at Limerick by 4L. This a much harder assignment. Others preferred this time.

Two impressive wins over hurdles, including by 3.5L at Newbury over 4100m. Takes major jump in class. One to watch.

Two-time hurdle winner at 3200m. Produced career best when a 3.5L third in the G1 Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle (4200m) at Cheltenham last time. Trip an unknown. Live contender again.

Won G3 Cork Stayers Novice Hurdle (4900m) in December. Pulled up in the G2 Jane Seymour Mares' Novices' Hurdle (3800m) at Warwick 62 days ago. Unlikely to threaten.
