7/5

Created a good impression when winning his first 3 starts over hurdles, including the Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown. Found out in Grade 1 company in the spring festivals but cast aside a tame chase debut in no uncertain terms when scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Aintree.

Form: 1107-31

13/8

Winner of 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles and immediately improved on that form as he made a successful debut over fences after 8 months off at Carlisle (2½m, soft) in November. Excellent efforts on the figures both starts since and cheekpieces should really help him. The one to beat.

Form: 3/11-132

5/2

Enjoyed a positive season over hurdles last term, signing off with career-best display to score at Sandown (19.8f) in April. Going best when falling 2 out on return/chase debut at Cheltenham (20.2f) in November but jumping again cost him when fourth back there a month later.

TRELAWNE has taken pretty well to fences and very much appeals as the type to benefit from first-time cheekpieces, so he looks the way to go on these terms. Crebilly receives weight all round and these slightly less-demanding fences may help him jump with more fluency. He's feared most.
