Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; found to have bled when well held next time and played up at the start (deemed a non-runner) at Exeter eight days ago; wore tongue-tie on those last three appearances and cheekpieces at Exeter, but has neither today; unexposed handicap debutant.

Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in November; found to have bled when well held at Doncaster since, which is a concern, but would have obvious claims if back to best with cheekpieces added.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Sam Thomas

Bumper winner; very nearly won a Cheltenham Grade 2 on his hurdling debut (form franked; good to soft) and then comfortably accounted for one other finisher when tongue tied at Ascot; carries a penalty but he's looking smart and this longer trip shouldn't pose any problems.

Record of 1-3 in bumpers last term; ran well, losing out only on the nod, in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) on reappearance; major player provided that form is backed up; tongue-tie applied.

Favourite for two of his three bumpers (good to soft or good), winning the first and on the latest occasion finishing third under a penalty at Chepstow where they didn't go much of a gallop; others in here have superior form but he's a likely improver over hurdles.
