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.

T: Ben Pauling

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.

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Ben Pauling

Seemed to benefit from wind op and/or new cheekpieces when ridden clear to make winning handicap debut at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October; that was a modest race and he's effectively 10lb higher here (if Callum Pritchard's reduced claim is considered) but further progress is possible over 3m.

Runner-up in 2m2f novice races on good ground at Stratford, latterly only 4l behind an improver when fitted in a tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added after a wind operation and can see him going well.
