Won at Stratford (2m2f, good) on handicap debut; pulled up at Cheltenham (2m4f) later in October after a mistake three out caused the saddle to slip and jockey to lose irons; he disputed the lead at the time of that mishap (albeit after earlier jumping issues as well) but did not run so well there in November (2m, soft); absent 96 days since but needs a second look.

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Won at Stratford (2m2f, good) on handicap debut; jumping lacked fluency at Cheltenham (2m4f) later in October and he was pulled up soon after a mistake three out caused the saddle to slip and jockey to lose irons; others preferred.

Unexposed 5yo who is a half-brother to stable's top-class hurdler The New One; made all to beat six rivals on recent handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good); hiked up in grade here but still has potential.

Unexposed after only two hurdling starts and returned from 11-month absence with close/clear second at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month; upped in trip for this handicap debut; should have more to offer.

Half-brother to stable's top-class hurdler The New One; awarded small-field Newton Abbot bumper a year ago and ran well for a long way when third on subsequent hurdling debut at Fakenham (2m, good); can feature here if ready to roll after 11-month break.
