Watch Unibet Racing Postcast Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

The most exposed of these after 11 runs over hurdles but it was win number four when returning to his best in a 2m5f Class 2 handicap at Kempton a month ago (hard fought; good ground); penalised accordingly and he might be vulnerable should one or two of these find the anticipated improvement.

Posted a very eyecatching RPR when making it 2-2 over hurdles at Newcastle in January (2m4f, soft; fine on good) and reportedly ran flat when only 7-2 for a Grade 2 at Kelso the following month; granted a break since then and he returns with his yard firing in winners left, right and centre.

3m point winner; relinquished his unbeaten record over hurdles in a 3m Grade 2 here in February but that was no backward step and he'd have finished closer than 12l to the winner Dalston Lad but for hitting two out; heading in the right direction and respected.

Irish point winner who has been keeping good company over hurdles and, in a first-time tongue-tie, he comfortably accounted for subsequent Grade 2 winner Dalston Lad in a Doncaster maiden in late November (2m5f, good to soft); has since undergone a wind operation; major player provided the absence doesn't hold him back.

Only sixth in his first two races (debut was a bumper) but raised his profile when chasing home a talented and shorter-priced stablemate at Kempton in early February (2m5f, good to soft); he was 15l adrift but this 5yo no doubt has plenty more to offer.
