Solid on his form with Conman John over longer trips in October and opened his hurdles account in Kelso contest (2m, soft) in December; struggled in warm handicap since but holds major claims back down in class.

Ran well when second in 3m novice at Cheltenham (good) in October but last month's win in a maiden hurdle at Kelso came at 2m (soft; under Tristan Durrell); this lightly raced 6yo is in top hands and should be suited by a strongly run race at this trip on his handicap debut; one to consider.

Disappointing in Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) last month and set to be on similar ground today, which is a concern even though his bumper win came on soft going; however, perhaps a first-time tongue-tie and the drop back in trip will help, and he'll be very tough to beat if tapping back into the promise shown when second at Cheltenham (3m, good) in October.

Soft-ground bumper winner who was third to Conman John on hurdle debut at Kelso (2m5f, good) last month before 3l second to the same rival here (3m, good) three weeks ago; shaped last time as though this shorter trip could be a better fit for the time being and he's respected.

Bumper winner last term; seems held by Conman John on Kelso seasonal/hurdle debut form but may do better with that outing (first since wind surgery) under his belt; runner-up in 3m point and has stamina on dam's side.
