An excellent advertisement for the training skills of Peter Atkinson; began his winning run in handicap hurdles at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in March and completed a four-timer at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago, having risen 12lb in the weights; up another 4lb for that narrow success but he's thriving and unlikely to be far away.

Ran just twice last season and is better known as a chaser, but he has a lower hurdle mark and was a creditable third in this sphere at Haydock (2m3f, soft) 12 months ago on last season's reappearance, in a race that worked out extremely well; has won here and is one to consider on his comeback.

Unable to win on his nine starts since landing a C&D novice chase (heavy) in December 2020; however, he's run several big races and is 4lb lower than when second at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) last December on his last chase start; returned from absence with encouraging recent run over hurdles at Carlisle, when tiring late on, and he can show the benefit of that outing here.

Regressed with Jonjo O'Neill but off a reduced mark he's come good to win his last two, both handicaps at about 3m on soft ground; back up 11lb but seems to have regained his fighting spirit having dug deep to get the job done at Newcastle last time; however, does seem ideally suited by significant give underfoot.

Following wind surgery he won two in a row over fences early this year (2m, good to soft/heavy; including here) and he bled from the nose when pulled up at Ayr in April; this two-time hurdle winner stays 2m4f and is well treated on last season's chase form; could go well if fully tuned up.

Two-time French hurdle winner who was a creditable fourth of 18 in a Grade 3 handicap chase at Auteuil (2m7f, soft) last April; on a handy mark on that form but his form went the wrong way on his next three starts (hurdles latest); he's perhaps best watched on this stable debut.
