Chasing this season and it started well enough, but heavy defeats on his last two starts (Grade 2/Cheltenham handicap) have prompted this return to hurdles; also has smart form in this discipline so it could be an inspired move; second run after wind surgery and in a tongue-tie.

Campaigned mainly over 3m; form dipped in Grade 2 most recently; had wind surgery since and now goes in tongue-tie; comfortably beat his three rivals at Doncaster (chase debut; good to soft) in sole handicap attempt and although this is a stiffer assignment he's interesting from a pedigree angle, being related to Tully East who won this corresponding race in 2017.

Runner-up twice at Grade 2 level over hurdles; sound performances at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) switched to chasing this term, comfortably winning a handicap then beaten only half a length by sole rival in follow-up attempt; remains of interest, with further progress still plausible.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

Useful novice hurdler last season who comfortably made a winning start to chase career in C&D novice handicap (good to soft) a fortnight ago; there should be more to come from him for his in-form yard and he is taken to defy the penalty.

J: Ciaran Gethings

Won minor hurdles over 2m5f (here) and 3m before finishing runner-up in two Grade 2s over 3m (good to soft); reportedly unsuited by good ground when pulled up in first-time cheekpieces in a Grade 1 at Aintree; the youngest of these and expected to be a better chaser.
