Broke his duck over hurdles after a few near misses and made a winning start to fences at Perth (3m) on his return from a break last month, albeit narrowly with the second making a costly error at the last; lacked fluency there but kept on well and, although a 6lb higher mark asks a question, another bold bid can be expected.

Runner-up four times over hurdles prior to getting off the mark in a tight finish here (3m, good; 13-8 favourite, added tongue-tie) last September; off since and set to make chasing debut but there's no reason why he shouldn't take to fences; merits respect.

Lightly raced maiden but looks a winner waiting to happen and was clear of the rest when chasing home the odds-on favourite at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces); big shout off the same with a tongue-tie added.

Unexposed 6yo who chased home a next-time-out winner on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f) in May and was back on track, after a blip, when second of 11 over C&D (also good) in July; can likely do better and he's respected in first-time cheekpieces.

Unexposed 6yo who chased home a next-time-out winner on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in May and did not have the race run to suit his patient tactics when only fifth at Perth (3m, good; favourite) last month; still has potential and remains very much of interest.
