Signed off for Anthony Charlton with win against own age-group at Taunton (2m, soft) in March and was very close second at Market Rasen (2m, good) for new stable a fortnight ago; ought to play a major role here too. |

Consistent profile and did well to be well on top when it mattered at Taunton (2m, soft; runner-up successful since) after some indifferent early jumping; placed on good ground in one of his bumpers; off since March but if straight enough he'll go close to defying a penalty. |

Developed into a useful Flat racer since joining John McConnell last autumn and was left clear to win comfortably by 19l on last month's hurdling debut at Down Royal (2m1f, good); should cope if the ground softens here and commands respect.

Not beaten far in any of his three bumpers, most recently when fourth of five at Stratford (good) this month, but needs to take a big step forward on this hurdling debut and will remain a risky option until he learns to settle better.

Placed in good-ground Aintree bumper on rules debut in May 2022 but not seen again until tailed off in soft-ground novice hurdle in February; may yet make up for lost time but is not the most obvious answer here.

Runner-up in two points and 6l third of ten in a bumper at Aintree, all in the spring of 2022 and he's not been seen since; unraced on softer than good; this looks a weak race but some caution has to be advised. |

Half-brother to same connections' useful hunter chasers Latenightpass and Latenightfumble; 4-7 in points before creditable second in Cheltenham hunter chase (3m2f, soft) on rules debut in May; an interesting candidate for novice hurdles this season but needs to prove he can cope with this sharp drop in trip.

4-7 in points before creditable second in Cheltenham hunter chase (3m2f, soft) on rules debut in May but made disappointing start to hurdling career when well-held fifth over C&D (good to soft) last week; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing. |
