'Jumping let him down when third on chase debut but entitled to improve on that form'

'Progressive novice hurdler who brings bags of potential to fences; respected'

'Under a positive ride he was third on switch to fences in a recent handicap at Cheltenham'

'Solid handicap form last season and returned with a clearcut win at Ludlow; 6lb rise fair'

'Consistent hurdler who stayed well and he's bred to be a chaser'

'Progressive hurdler; only a 5yo and he has useful chasers in his pedigree'

'Bumper/dual hurdle winner; chasing was always going to be his job'

'This is tougher than when beating three rivals at Worcester but he's only 2lb higher'
