Delivered on earlier promise when winning C&D (heavy) maiden last month, recovering well from slow jump at third-last flight; ran to fairly useful level that day but probably needs to improve again to land this prize.

Pulled up after significant mid-race jumping error at Ascot six weeks ago but was runner-up on first two hurdling starts (2m3f, soft/good to soft), and his bumper form suggests he'll be well suited by the forecast heavy ground here; probably won't be far away.

More experienced than most of these and he keeps giving his running, beaten off only on the run-in when second of four in novice at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) five weeks ago; should be winning before long and he's not ruled out here.

Consistent RPRs in bumpers at Exeter (twice) and Market Rasen last term; solid start to his hurdle career when second of seven in Wetherby novice (2m3f, soft) four weeks ago and the winner and third have franked the form; likely to go well.

Consistent RPRs in bumpers at Exeter (twice) and Market Rasen last term; bred to do better still, being related to a couple of useful sorts; open to progress over hurdles.
