C&D winner was successful four times over hurdles including in Listed company in 2018 but unseated rider on last months chase debut. Interesting contender off his last winning mark on first Flat start since March last year.

Winner of this race two years ago and returned from a short break with an impressive 11L victory in a 1m6f amateur riders event here earlier this month. Disappointed off this 10lb higher mark over this trip here subsequently however.

Completed a 1m2f double at Nottingham when winning on soft ground last month. Struggled twice on heavy going subsequently including over the same C&D earlier this month. Has won over this trip in the past.

C&D winner finished a well beaten 21L sixth in a C&D handicap on his return from two months off the track recently. Races off a mark 4lb higher than when winning at Lingfield on turf in August.

Registered his best effort since returning from a break when finishing runner-up in a 1m2f handicap at Nottingham (soft) just under a month ago. One to note having broke his maiden over 1m3f here last November.

Decent effort in finishing 4L fourth in a C&D handicap just over three weeks ago. Held by Doctor Jazz on that form but has won off a higher mark in the past.

Best effort in four outings for this yard came when beaten 3¾L into third in a C&D handicap earlier this month. Had Apache Blaze directly behind him on that occasion and looks to hold strong claims despite racing from out of the handicap.
