Comment: Won junior bumper on debut at Wetherby (soft) last December and was runner-up on both subsequent hurdling starts, more recently when beaten under 1l by a next-time-out winner at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March; can make his presence felt here.

5/4

Comment: Still unexposed over fences and scored at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) in February when last seen; sold out of James Ewart's yard for £11,000 since; interesting on debut for Dan Skelton.

Comment: Faller when last seen but earlier novice chase form featured a success (2m, good) when fresh; still has low mileage over fences and warrants respect off a workable mark on reappearance.

Comment: Completed a hat-trick (soft/heavy) two winters ago; lacked consistency last term but ran creditably off current mark over C&D (good to soft) on penultimate outing; capable of being involved.

Comment: Reasonably consistent and ran respectably on the bare figures over C&D most recently; however, still has a modest strike-rate, which includes a record of just 1-19 in the chase sphere.
