Comment: Delivered on earlier promise when making all to win good-ground Wetherby bumper by 8l in March, his third start under rules; looks a good hurdling prospect for the season ahead and needs to be taken very seriously.

Comment: Did not achieve a great deal when plugging on for modest third in 2m1f Cartmel novice in June but was placed again (albeit off a lowly mark) in 2m Flat handicap the following month and remains unexposed over hurdles; could have a say if this hike up in trip suits.

Comment: Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was tailed off when 66-1 for last month's handicap debut over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces); huge improvement needed.

40/1

Comment: Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove.
