Did the job well when opening hurdles account at Huntingdon (2m) last May. Recent spin on the Flat (first run for 13 months) will have blown away the cobwebs and he's not discounted.
Has resumed in this sphere at the top of his game, back-to-back winner over 16.3f at Stratford last month. Up a total of 17 lb for that brace but respected in this hat-trick bid nonetheless.
Hurdles debut winner on sole start for Dan Skelton last October. Shaped better than distance beaten on handicap bow for new yard in first-time cheekpieces here (20.4f) last month and not ruled out.
Opened hurdles account in Bangor maiden last June. Yet to build on that but undergone another wind operation since latest start and claims if that procedure/first-time tongue strap work the oracle.
Runner-up over C&D last month and subsequently opened account in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f). Things rather went his way on that occasion but he's consistent and should give another good account.
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner who has struggled to make an impact since switched to handicaps, again beaten a fair way back from a 6-month break at Cartmel recently.
Sole win over jumps was gained in a maiden hurdle back in January 2016. Not entirely disgraced on the level at Pontefract last time but she's hard to warm to here all the same.

Glendun (5/2), Panko (4/1), Avarchie (4/1), Jamacho (5/1), Dream Machine (13/2), Carry On (10/1), My Painter (25/1), Knockmaole Boy (66/1)
It may be worth chancing DREAM MACHINE, who wasn't knocked about at Uttoxeter last time and has subsequently undergone a third wind operation (successful on first run following initial procedure in 2018). He was third in a more competitive heat than this off 2 lb higher at Kempton in November. Recent Stratford winner Glendun and hat-trick seeker Jamacho are likely to emerge as the main dangers.
