Successful handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (about 2m5f, good) last October; no match at all for the winner on chase debut at Bangor (about 2m4f, good) in April but the return to this longer trip can help; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; yard runs two.

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Ben Pauling

Combination of handicaps, a wind operation and this headgear has made a different, delivering form figures of 132 in 2m5f-3m handicap hurdles before faring less well after 97 days off at Wetherby; hard to be confident on the back of that but no surprise should he run well now his attention is turned to fences.

Maiden prior to showing improvement with solid performances (132) since having wind surgery and wearing cheekpieces, most recently beaten only narrowly at Ascot (2m7f) three months ago; that form has been franked by the winner since; goes well fresh and holds strong claims returned to the scene of his October win.

Back from wind surgery and in new cheekpieces (joining tongue-tie) when staying on best at Wetherby (2m5f, good) but he was effectively 10lb higher when coming up short at Southwell (3m, good to soft); might be vulnerable with another 1lb to contend with.
