'Not at his best over 1m6f here the last time but he's a C&D winner from October.'

'Winning hurdler; has not had many chances in this scene, or on the AW for that matter.'

'Poor form in four runs for this yard and others have much more pressing claims.'

'Seems to be steadily finding his form since returning from layoff and thereabouts.'

'Beaten more than 10l in two staying handicaps back on the AW and can look a hard ride.'

'Threatened once or twice but over shorter distances and below best the last twice.'

'Three wins have been from 1m4f to 1m6f but stays this far and on a reasonable mark.'

'After a prominent pitch he got outpaced when only 2l away over 1m4f at Newcastle.'

'Beaten 6l into fourth over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week and that made it 0-26 overall.'

'Last season ended on a low note with three quiet runs after a break.'

'Recent placed efforts not so encouraging as they look and he's now 0-8.'

'Below his best the last twice and has never been the easiest to win with.'

'Finished tailed off over 1m4f here two weeks ago after a long absence.'
