Made all for wins here (2m novice, soft) and at Newbury (handicap, good to soft; 2lb lower) but he couldn't dominate when ultimately tailed off behind Mondo Man in the Imperial Cup (25-1); there are similar reservations as to how this will pan out, but Chris Gordon (doubly represented) has a very good record in this race with three wins since 2016.

Off the mark at Plumpton (2m, soft) in December on third hurdle start and followed up on handicap debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in January, again making the running; 5lb higher in this more competitive race but he did it nicely last time and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie.

Point and bumper runner-up who readily made all at Plumpton (2m, soft) in December on third hurdle start; had previously shown promise on good ground; brings potential to his handicap debut and could go well.

Placed in two Irish points and was runner-up in the first of his two bumpers; made a promising start over hurdles this autumn and was only beaten 3l when a front-running third here (2m4f, good) last month; hung left in closing stages but he was a long way clear of the fourth and that form puts him firmly in the picture; interesting contender back in trip.
