Very useful handicap hurdler a few years ago; lightly raced in the meantime but got his act together over fences three months ago, winning readily by 10l over C&D (good), and ought to be better suited by today's forecast slower ground; major player.

Very lightly raced since winning over hurdles at 2021 Aintree festival but seemed to be getting his act together over fences when third at Bangor (3m, good to soft) last month, and may yet make up for lost time.

Seen only twice since winning 3m handicap hurdle at 2021 Aintree festival, and neither of last season's chasing attempts went well; arrives here with a bit to prove but may yet get his act together over fences.

J: Ciaran Gethings

T: Stuart Edmunds

Won two handicap hurdles in the first half of 2021, including a hot contest at Aintree (3m, good to soft); off 929 days afterwards and understandably looked rusty when 22l third of seven on chasing debut/reappearance at Catterick (2m4f, soft; faded) in October; should build on that and his mark is now 2lb lower than at Aintree.
