Won in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Taunton (2m, heavy) in February on second hurdle start and went close at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; he's shaped as though he'll be suited by the step up in trip and there's lots to like on his handicap debut.

Won on stable debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft) in January and bounced back from heavy-ground flop on handicap debut at Hereford when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; shaped last time as though this shorter trip would help and trainer has a good record in this race.

Won in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December; however, two lesser performances have followed (2m3f/2m5f, soft/good to soft) and he needs to get back on track.

French hurdle winner who is 0-7 in Britain but he went close at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) last November when last seen; also effective on good to soft ground; could be in the mix if fully tuned up after a break.

Three-time hurdle winner who has dropped to a mark 5lb lower than when winning on his chase debut last February; he may stage a revival at some stage but has struggled over fences/hurdles on his three runs this season.
