Unseated when favourite at Cheltenham in November; won handicaps on his last six completed starts, the latest when emerging narrowly on top at Taunton and the 2m3f that day is probably a minimum for him; further improvement at this trip may therefore deal with 4lb rise; all his improvement has been on good ground, having been well beaten in the mud at start of career. |

Has thrived since tackling this trip and made it four from his last six when winning at Wincanton in January, handling soft ground well; doesn't do more than necessary so handicap mark has only crept up (4lb for latest success); cheekpieces return (has won on the Flat in them); plenty of appeal and stable remains in fine form. |

Formerly quite useful on Flat and he's now come into his own over hurdles, winning four of last six starts, including latest; found only a handicap blot too strong when second of 16 over C&D (good to soft) on penultimate start, despite suffering significant early interference; lots to like but ground worse than good to soft would seemingly be a big worry. |

In good form on the Flat in the autumn, whereas he has not been at his best back over hurdles since but has been dropped 8lb in the process; seems to go well here, including for two of his four hurdling wins, but this is his first run here since 2019. |

Not the force of old and tailed off at Ayr last time; however, prior to that he showed some spark over C&D when runner-up to easy winner Wakool, and he's been given a chance by the handicapper; not ruled out. |

Won three times over hurdles; hasn't reached the same heights over fences (not helped by jumping) but he didn't run too badly for third here a month ago and returns to hurdles off the mark he won off at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) last May. |

Had wind surgery last June; his chasing career has faltered, which sees him back hurdling for first time since March 2020 and off a good mark if he regains the spark; acts on soft. |

Blooming in the autumn of his career; made it seven wins from his last ten starts when leading late on to beat stablemate Teescomponents Lad at Doncaster (3m, soft) three weeks ago; one of his previous successes came over C&D and he's fine on good ground as well; can't be ruled out but a further 5lb rise in the weights demands even more. |

Has flowered rather late in life but has done so with a vengeance; made it six wins from his last nine starts with a gritty C&D success 23 days ago, his third victory here; 3lb rise certainly doesn't prevent him from being obvious shortlist material again. |

Four novice hurdles this season, on the up at Wincanton (2m5f, good) in the autumn before a lesser show there (2m4f, good to soft) when 6-5 favourite late last month; with stamina in the family, this step up in trip for handicap debut has to be very interesting. |

26th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |

Just too strong for short-odds rival when winning four-runner novice here in October and ran well in defeat here (also 2m5f, good) the following month; has the penalty to shoulder again today but the slightly shorter trip won't be a problem and he sets the hurdling standard. |

Useful on Flat, including winning the Ascot Stakes in 2020, and twice ran well from four attempts in that sphere in 2021; has never made much impact in handicap hurdles, including here in December, and he was last of four on AW Flat last month, so others are more persuasive. |

Seems to need goodish ground and in first-time cheekpieces he ran out a ready winner at Newcastle in March (2m6f; four ran); no show at Haydock but that was a better race for which he was 20-1; Peter Kavanagh's claim brings him down to the same mark as for his recent win. |

Well beaten on both starts this season but arguably ran a bit better than bare form suggests in competitive Haydock chase on latter occasion; given a chance by the handicapper back over hurdles and might be boosted by a change of headgear. |

Won off 5lb lower at Southwell (3m, good) last April and placed twice in an indifferent campaign this season; main reasons for optimism are the return of Nico De Boinville (replacing 7lb claimer) and the drying ground. |

Drew well clear with a subsequent winner when bagging Hereford handicap in January and probably ran to similar level when runner-up in Class 2 event at Huntingdon (also 3m1f, good to soft) later that month; back in novice company here and has a significant role to play. |
