Impressed when winning two 2m novice hurdles last winter (good to soft/soft); not much has gone to plan since but positives can be drawn from last month's chase/handicap debut at Wetherby (1m7f, soft), even though he was last of five; up in trip today and could still have potential.
4-14 over hurdles; held up in rear and never really looked dangerous on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in October but that run, his first since May, might have brought him on and his current mark is workable.
Bettered low-key seasonal/chase debut when making all over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago; 6lb higher here but could easily have more to offer over fences; leading contender.
Ended last season's light campaign with a disappointing effort but seemed to be going okay before falling at fourth-last fence on Grand National course at Aintree last month and has possibilities here.
0-8 over fences but kept on for very respectable third in mares' chase at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) three weeks ago and is sure to be suited by today's move back up in trip; each-way claims at least.
Came good over hurdles at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in March and probably bettered that form when close second at Warwick (2m3f, good) the following month; makes chasing debut after eight-month break but will be fine on the slower ground; market may guide.
Rallied well on run-in to win four-runner chase on seasonal debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago, his sixth start over fences; still on a workable mark after recent 4lb rise and enters cacuations.
2-10 over fences, the latter win over C&D; returned to form with very creditable second at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) in February but has fitness to prove after ten-month absence.
