Better for blinkers going on last autumn, handling soft ground well when closing out with an easy win off 8lb lower here over 1m6f; absent since pulled up over hurdles in February and has to prove his new mark within range.

Missed the best part of a year following a poor debut for this yard last summer and finished well held on her comeback 19 days ago; needs a big step forward and also has stamina to prove.

No problem with 1m4f but is still to totally prove his stamina over this far; was allowed to dictate when beating a small field last time and a 4lb rise puts him on a career-high mark.

Pulled up at Kelso a month ago (lost a shoe) but had previously won over hurdles here; given his inconsistent profile, it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back.

Only defeat in his last four came when pulling hard in a tactical, small-field affair and he's chasing a C&D hat-trick having touched off Cosmic Soul off 3lb lower 17 days ago; his record on ground slower than good isn't inspiring but he's entitled to respect.
