He's gone 3-3 since the cheekpieces went on and it was pretty straightforward from the front in a Grade 2 at Haydock the last time (3m, good to soft) when 4l too good for the strong-finishing Ubatuba who ran a respectable seventh in the Albert Bartlett; arrives here fresher than some; respected.

Made it 2-2 in these cheekpieces when upped in trip on handicap debut over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago; won a bumper on soft ground; open to further improvement for his top yard and is firmly in calculations.

3m point and two-time bumper winner who has improved with each of his three hurdle starts, winning easily at 4-9 at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last time in first-time cheekpieces (retained); bred to be suited by this step up in trip on handicap debut (half-brother to leading Peter Marsh contender Myretown, among others) and could have lots more to offer for top yard.

Decent bumper performer; disappointed at Cheltenham on hurdle debut but better effort at Doncaster last time; cheekpieces fitted and he has strong claims in an uncompetitive event.

Won a point and two bumpers before finishing down the field in the big one at Cheltenham in March; reportedly suffering from ulcers when running no race on his hurdling debut back at Cheltenham (2m4f), having been very well backed; can be given another chance.
