Won two novice hurdle last season and back on the scoresheet at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day on second handicap start; followed up at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) last month; hit with a 9lb rise for last time but this 6yo is progressive and could have more left in the tank.

J: Jonathan Burke

Two wins (Ludlow) and two seconds as a novice last term; built on that when justifying favouritism at Market Rasen (extended 2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day in his second handicap, failing to settle early on but seizing the initiative entering the final turn and in charge from before two out; the extra distance asks a question but he's bred to stay and 5lb rise should be outstripped at some point soon by his potential.

Patchy form across his four runs this season but they've all been on soft going and he showed spark when second at Wetherby in January; below par there since but he's had wind surgery subsequently and could be back on better ground today; back down to same mark as for 8l win at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) last March and this C&D winner is capable of having a big say.
