Travelled well when second at Wetherby and this shorter trip could be just what he needs

Below-par fourth at Carlisle but this unexposed 6yo could still have more to offer

Won over C&D on second chase start and bumped into useful prospect over C&D last time

Disappointing at Musselburgh last time but progressive previously and could bounce back

Three-time chase winner; scored over hurdles in December but form has been mixed since

Pulled up on last three starts and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces

Pulled up in sole chase but this lightly raced point/novice h'dle winner retains potential
