Ran fairly well last time behind two useful novices; this looks easier

Going the right way judged on his second to an odds-on favourite at Fontwell

Hasn't kicked on from his encouraging debut and probably needs to better that form

Improved third at Bangor but probably needs to step up again to beat the best of these

Useful Flat horse who was runner-up on final run over hurdles last summer

This brother to a 3m5f chase winner is probably one for further down the line
