Good ground point-to-point winner in Ireland in April 2019 but has failed to figure in two completed starts under Rules. Not completely out of it when falling three out at Huntingdon in March but others look to hold more obvious claims.
Winner of three of his 11 starts on the Flat and ran well when 1½L third over 1m3f at Kempton in October. Changed hands for 32,000 gns subsequently and is one for the shortlist on his debut over hurdles.
Successful on good-to-firm ground at Hamilton (1m4f) in June last year but finished held in three subsequent starts. Had wind surgery since his latest outing and interesting to see how he fares on stable and hurdling debut.
Couple of good efforts in bumpers and ran well when third on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) in November. Beaten 30L when seventh in a big field at Ludlow (2m, soft) subsequently and is one for the shortlist on his return to action.
Beaten 30L seventh in a 2m novice hurdle at Hexham (good-to-soft) on his belated debut in June last year but struggled at Southwell (good) nine days later. Others make more appeal on his return from over a year off the track.
Stayed well on the Flat winning over an extended 2m4f at Goodwood (good) in July last year. Reportedly didn't like the soft ground at Newmarket subsequently and makes his stable and hurdles debut having had wind surgery since his most recent start.
Successful on the Flat at two but failed to win in that sphere last year and has changed stables since finishing last of 15 over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park (good) last month. Worth a check in the market on hurdling debut.
11 race maiden under all codes including when 43L 12th over an extended 2m on hurdling debut at Doncaster (good-to-soft) in December. Had wind surgery subsequently and others make more appeal having finished well beaten on the Flat twice last month.

Forecasts
Grey Spirit (1/1), Timoshenko (2/1), Rock On Tiger (5/2), Le Grand Rocher (13/2), Bringthehousedown (10/1), Cremant (25/1), Ninepin Bowler (33/1), Fanfaronade (40/1), Fabrication (50/1), Check My Pulse (66/1), Tikerty Tok (66/1)
ROCK ON TIGER can put a slightly disappointing effort last time out behind him to register his first victory over hurdles in the second division of the novices' hurdle. The selection showed good placed form last campaign and can get the better of useful Flat performer Timoshenko who can finish runner-up on hurdling debut. Grey Spirit was a multiple winner on the Flat and he can finish third on his first outing over jumps.
