Point winner who has yet to hit the frame under rules; ran okay here last time when upsides Propelled over 2m6f; going further may help, as might the cheekpieces.

Nothing like the force of old but kept on well for third over hurdles in refitted headgear at Stratford (2m6f, good) this month, his third start after a layoff; should cope with today's drop back in trip and the return to fences; a possible.

Last success was in a seller back in October 2022; insufficient promise in two runs following an absence to make the shortlist here.

Won a point in 2022 but yet to be placed after six starts under rules; not disgraced when sixth of eight here (2m2f, good to soft) last month, after a break, but needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.
