Left Willie Mullins in the doldrums and hasn't got a lot going for current yard; others preferred.
Won twice last spring at about this trip but essentially underwhelming since, albeit in better races than this; the drop in class should be welcomed.
Quiet stable debut over hurdles last month but this gelding won four times over fences in France and he's only a 5yo; not entirely ruled out.
3-5 over fences; eased late on when beating Politacus here and comfortably defied a 6lb rise at Newton Abbot (2m, good), albeit at the expense of just one other finisher; up another 5lb but sure to go well.
Won twice for Dan Skelton but opposable on what he's shown in last four races, all handicaps divided between hurdles and fences.
Only 1-9 over fences but runner-up four times; seems best at Doncaster but on a fair mark and he's able when fresh; Cobden booked.
No match for Irish Chorus here in March but she's got a handy pull in the weights with that rival and she lost a shoe when beaten 12l at Stratford; not discounted.
Won at Southwell (2m, good) in October but looked set to be second when left in the lead at Bangor; however, only 2lb higher now and he reportedly finished lame in November on his final run.
Slims Pickins is most useful when you can move from this single-race view back to the wider board, compare races quickly, and decide where the edge is strongest.
