Gives away weight all round but has shown some progressive form after winning his debut bumper at Towcester when with a previous yard. His sixth in the Cheltenham bumper was by far his best effort and he did best of those to race close to the pace. Worthy of his place at the head of the market here.
Failed to build on his debut promise that he showed at Newbury when disappointing at Uttoxeter the following month. Of interest if he can repeat his debut run in what looks to be a modest contest here.
Cost €20,000 as a three-year-old and is a first foal with the dam being a half-sister to the useful chaser/hurdler Heathfield. Yard are not really firing at the moment though and others would offer more here.

Dans Le Vent (2/5), Brunel Woods (7/2), Mon Port (11/2), Honest Vic (8/1), Symphony Of Angels (10/1), Faint Hope (25/1), Spanish Starling (50/1)
This looks a weak bumper with the exception of DANS LE VENT who should be able to build again on his excellent sixth in the Cheltenham bumper. With Brunel Woods participation a doubt (ran on Monday) it may well be up to Mon Port to chase the selection home with Symphony Of Angels a possible improver for the change of yards.
