Remains a maiden following 20 attempts under Rules. A place probably the best he can hope for returning from 7 months off despite a tumbling mark.

Has been in good form over hurdles and ran close that level first time up over fences when third at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago, finishing with running left. Likely improver, so holds leading claims.

Fair winner over hurdles and made an encouraging start in this sphere when third in handicap at this course (20.9f) in March. Hasn't progressed on both outings since, so percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Left hurdling debut form behind when third in a Wexford maiden on final run for Leonard Whitmore last summer. Hasn't shown much for present yard, though, and not attentions are switched to the larger obstacles.
