Ex-Irish; difficult to know what to expect, but he's hardly flying high here.

Now downgraded with new headgear tried but he's risky.

Has a lot to prove, but this is a bad race and perhaps a visor can help matters.

Pulled up last three starts but ran well the once and now goes in blinkers.
6	Choix Des Armes Bay J:Nathan Moscrop T:Alison Hamilton	J:Nathan Moscrop T:Alison Hamilton	155	—	U7943-	72	90	-	12d	—	—	+5	9.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Shouldn't be the answer on these terms but at least he ran a half-decent race last time.
4	Bebside Banter Bay J:Conor Rabbitt(7) T:Chris Grant	J:Conor Rabbitt(7) T:Chris Grant	155	—	725PP-	76	101	46	21d	—	—	+4	7.6	6.00/1	25 4%
Has shown precious little since placed off a very low mark in January.

His basement mark a true reflection of current capabilities.

Two novice hurdle wins in 2018 but no success since and up against it on these terms.
