Made it 6-7 at this track when winning over C&D in September off a mark 3lb lower than today's; placed over hurdles at Fakenham and Huntingdon at around 2m4f on his next two starts; returns from a three-month break and holds good claims back here.
Most recent win came at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last January on his final start for Lawrence Mullaney; didn't get home when fourth over 2m there last time (beaten 12l) and he should be suited by the drop back in trip, although others are more persuasive.
Sole win on the Flat came at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in November 2024 off a 2lb higher mark than today's but he was well held on his return there two months ago; runner-up over hurdles at Doncaster on his next start before a respectable run at Ascot 27 days ago and now returns to the Flat; each-way chance.
Has won two of his last four starts, most recently at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November; posted another good effort when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 26 days ago and he can again go well, although he still needs to fully prove his stamina for this far.
Off the mark when visored for the first time at Newmarket (1m4f) in June but he's struggled in five starts since, three of which have been since being gelded; drops back in trip with plenty to prove.
Won at Kempton (1m3f, AW) and Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in October; 4lb higher than the most recent of those wins but her last two efforts have been solid; up in trip.
Seven-race maiden but he has been placed over 1m4f at Newcastle on two occasions, including in first-time blinkers 44 days ago; doesn't look to be crying out for this longer trip.
