Won at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) in December and returned to form at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago, when he was narrowly in front when falling two out; won over hurdles here last May and he's on the shortlist.

He's failed to shine on his three starts since his chase win at Musselburgh in December, last time tailed off over hurdles here; however, he won three times last year, including over hurdles here, and is not written off.

Three wins, the first over this C&D on soft, last year; hasn't been at his best on last two starts but has an each-way chance.

Record of 2-4 this term; flopped last time when bidding for a Musselburgh chase double; effective over hurdles but has to deal with a career-high mark back in this sphere.

T: Adam Nicol

Dual hurdle winner who got off the mark over fences at the third attempt, in a 2m7f handicap here two weeks ago (soft; blinkers returned); quick enough for this trip and a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world.
