French Flat winner who has hung right and occasionally been inclined to jump that way; sets a clear standard on either of his last two placed efforts at about 2m4f, though, and there won't be any excuses dropping back in distance.

Half-brother to point/2m6f hurdle winner Aleish Lass; easily justified favouritism in an Irish maiden point late last year; hard to know the merit of that and the market will likely be the best guide.

Third in his first two points in Ireland and held every chance when falling at the last next time; pulled himself into a clear lead on his bumper debut at Kempton three weeks ago for new connections and paid for it late; needs to settle better on today's hurdling debut.

Pulled up on his debut over hurdles and achieved little when tailed off at Ludlow last month; Rian Corcoran is enjoying a fine spell of late but will do well to boost his stats here.

Picked up for £100,000 after winning a 2m4f Irish bumper 15 months ago; tough task on his comeback from a year off (had a wind op) for new connections in the winter but finished tailed off and goes in a first-time tongue-tie on his debut over hurdles.
