Modest effort in small field on return from lengthy absence last time, albeit seeming to need the run; remains well treated on best form but needs to prove he retains that ability.

Henderson hurdler who has low mileage; successful in maiden event last spring and good second in Sandown handicap (again over 2m4f) on reappearance; lesser effort at Leicester since but can't be written off.

Mid-race faller switched to chasing most recently; has frame possibilities judged on last three hurdles efforts (423) and Freddie Keighley's useful 7lb claim may improve the chance of getting back on the scoresheet.

Has shown improvement this term and was collared only in the final strides at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) most recently, having been mostly clear from four out; likely player provided he stays this new trip.

Favourite in both starts this season for new yard, better effort when keeping-on second at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) latest; may well take another step forward, as sole attempt over C&D (good) resulted in maiden win last March; interesting back here.

Campaigned mostly over fences in Ireland for Paul Nolan, winning once; had wind surgery since last run; something to prove back over hurdles but market support should be heeded on debut for Dan Skelton.

Made a winning handicap debut in Wetherby contest (2m3f, soft) last time, opening his account; this Skelton runner looks the type to show further progress; big player at the foot of the weights upped further in trip.
