Reasonably consistent but is 0-5 over hurdles, finishing fourth to Wilstar at Warwick most recently; chance of finding the necessary progress largely depends on the effects of first-time tongue-tie.

Gained his bumper success at Warwick; consistent elsewhere since switched to hurdles, making the frame each time; ran particularly well at Newbury (2m, good to soft) on penultimate start; solid chance back here.

T: Ben Pauling

Bumper winner (2m, good to soft) who tapped back into that promise when runner-up at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last month on his third hurdle start, coming clear with the winner; unproven on soft ground; leading claims if backing up that latest performance.

Bumper winner; beaten about 34l when second on seasonal/hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in October and left behind by front pair when third at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last month; improvement required.

Faded disappointingly in two bumpers after winning his first on good to soft at Warwick; again faded out of it when a very remote second on switch to hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft); some reservations for now.
