Runner-up in a maiden hurdle over this far (on soft) and that's just about his best run; 0-4 over fences and has twice pulled up, though the third at Uttoxeter was encouraging and 1m7f would have been too sharp last time.

Ran well against a hotpot in 2m7f hurdle at Lingfield (soft) last January; pulled up in first two chases but he wasn't too far away at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy; first run since wind surgery) in December, where a couple of late mistakes spoiled an otherwise sound round of jumping; blinkers are now tried and he needs a close look after another break.

Fair form when runner-up over hurdles at Lingfield (23f) last January but he's been pulled up on both runs over fences this term, cheekpieces tried in 25f Ffos Las handicap 52 days ago; he needs a subsequent wind op to spark major improvement.

Very unexposed 6yo who belied 125-1 odds and displayed huge improvement when second in Lingfield maiden hurdle (2m7f, soft) in January; pulled up when reappearing in a handicap chase last month, though, and needs to be a completely different proposition in first-time cheekpieces here.
