Rejuvenated by this yard, winning 5 of his last 7 chase starts. Made the most of a good opportunity back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (21.6f) last month and this looks another straightforward task.

Showed a bit of ability in bumpers/over hurdles but is more one for low-grade handicaps after this.

Placed both starts in bumpers, but could hardly have made a more unpromising start to his hurdling career at Bangor last week.

Fair form sole start for Saeed bin Suroor on Flat debut, but well held next time (both races over 1½m). Tongue tie on for hurdles debut.

Modest bumper winner but well held on the Flat more recently, and offered little with a tongue strap fitted on Newton Abbot hurdle debut last month.
