4/7

Bookended his novice campaign over hurdles with victories at Ayr and perfect start in this sphere when scoring at Wetherby on return. Checked out rather tamely at Cheltenham next time before taking a heavy fall at Newbury but latest third of 4 at Ayr was a step back in the right direction.

Form: 41-14F3

5/4

Took his form up a notch with cheekpieces enlisted last term, winning this race before bringing up the hat-trick over C&D final start. Disputing the lead when unseating rider 3 out at Wetherby on return but hasn't been in the same form since. No surprise if he bounced back in a change of headgear.

Forecasts

Primoz (4/7), Pay The Piper (11/10), Escapeandevade (5/4)

Things haven't gone to plan for PRIMOZ since his promising chase debut win at Wetherby but his latest third at Ayr was at least a step back in the right direction and he has more potential than his 2 seasoned rivals. The reliable Pay The Piper is the solid alternative with last year' winner Escapeandevade arriving with a bit to prove.
