Exeter maiden hurdle winner in October; only made his chase/handicap debut on Saturday and was pulled up at Uttoxeter (16-1).
Cheekpieces fitted in last three races; won at Catterick and back to form when a clear second at Haydock (2m4f, good); back up 3lb but still well handicapped on old exploits.
Ex-Olly Murphy; yet to win for current yard and now back from another lengthy break; others preferred.
Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in.
Below par when last seen in August but ran pretty well in his previous two races, including here; has plenty in his favour, other than a tough enough mark.
2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France.
Point winner; didn't hang about over hurdles and was running well when clouting two out on handicap/chase debut at Chepstow, where he was made favourite in this new headgear combination; has to be of interest.
Has won twice since February but he's very hit and miss, and might be better over shorter.
Lightly raced; first run in this headgear combination when runner-up over C&D and late mistake didn't help; up 2lb but should run well.
