Making his debut for this yard when 12L fourth of 12 over C&D on good ground 11 days ago. Remains of interest here for a trainer who has a 40% strike-rate in recent weeks (6/15).
Twice a winner since joining this stable earlier this month. Latest success came under a penalty over this C&D on good-to-soft ground on Friday and while his jumping could have been better on that occasion he's likely to prove hard to beat if turning out again here.
Broke his maiden off a mark of 90 over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell (good) back in December. Disappointing in both completed starts since most recently over the same C&D in March and worth a check in the market on debut for this stable.
Sole success in 21 starts came on heavy ground at Listowel when wearing cheekpieces for the first time last September. Disappointing since including when well beaten at Roscommon (yielding-to-soft) last month and debuts for a new yard here.
Put a couple of non-completions behind him when finishing 22L fourth over C&D on good-to-soft ground earlier this month. Returning from a break on that occasion and now rated 10lb lower than for his latest hurdles success.
Winner at Towcester (good) off a 9lb higher mark in May last year. Disappointing since including in three runs since being gelded and beaten 46L off a mark 5lb higher than he races off today when ninth over C&D earlier this month.
18 race maiden and well beaten since finishing fourth over an extended 1m7f at Catterick (soft) in early February. Handicap mark is falling as a result and worth a check in the market on his debut for a leading stable who can boast a 24% strike-rate of late (5/21).
Placed the last twice most recently when finishing ¾L third of nine over 1m4f on the Flat at Chepstow (soft) on Friday. Previously finished runner-up on soft ground in a 2m handicap hurdle at the same course in March though losing run stretches back well over four years.

SHRUBLAND can make a winning debut for trainer Dan Skelton in this concluding contest. The selection was pulled up on his final outing for his previous yard but his trainer has done well with similar maidens this season and can get the better of the in-form Knight Commander who was successful over C&D two days ago. Beau Bay, a disappointment when debuting for this stable earlier this month can finish third having been beaten 12L here on that occasion.
