Returned from a spell last start with a modest tenth in a hurdle (3419m) at Wexford. Others rate better.

Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a point to point (4800m) at Surrey P2p then found the frame again last time in a point to point (4800m) at Devon P2p, beaten 15 lengths. Prefer to see him do a bit more.

Has kept to flat racing at his last 5 starts. Last start finished eighth at York over 2400m. Big chance making his return to the obstacles.

Returns from a spell of three months. Made just the one appearance last campaign and finished in the minors in a hurdle (3400m) at Sedgefield, beaten 12 lengths. Can run a bold race fresh.

Resumed from a spell with a disappointing fifth in a hurdle (3300m) at Bangor-On-Dee. Better than fresh run. Capable of sharp improvement.

Has returned in terrific form this prep. Placed when resuming in a hurdle (3600m) at Plumpton then won last time by 3.5 lengths in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton most recently. Can add to the recent impressive results.

Was disappointing again last time when seventh, beaten 27 lengths, in a hurdle (3400m) at this track. Rates highly in this field and is expected to do much better.

Was unplaced the start before last in a hurdle (4400m) at this track then finished seventh most recently in a hurdle (5100m) at this track. Must be a chance in today's scenario.

Resumed from a spell last start in a 3400m hurdle at this track and was beaten 30 lengths into eighth. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Returns from a 404-day spell. Finished off last prep with a win in a point to point (4800m) at Bratton Down, scoring by 3 lengths. Has switched stables to the N B King yard. Can pick up where he left off.

Finished third two back in a hurdle (3300m) at Stratford-On-Avon then could only manage fourth last time in a hurdle (3400m) at Newton Abbot, beaten 13 lengths. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.
