11-length winner of a Navan bumper for A. Slattery on debut. Improved from hurdle/stable debut effort when third in maiden at Huntingdon (2m) in March, before failing to give his running at Market Rasen (21f). Worth another chance on return with tongue strap added.

Behind when falling in an Irish point in February and shaped as if amiss sent hurdling when pulled up in maiden at this course (2m) 15 days ago. Much-respected connections but has work to do up in trip.

Looked good prospect when winning a Chepstow bumper on debut, his only start for Toby Bulgin. However, tailed off in 2 races for current yard (had a breathing operation prior to latest). Needs to get back on track as he goes hurdling after further 6 months off.

Runner-up twice from 3 starts in bumpers, over 1½m in France on debut. However, didn't see his race out upped to 2½m when fourth of 5 in novice at Perth on hurdles bow in July. Off 11 weeks since.

Well held only start in bumpers and fared no better sent hurdling when tenth of 13 in novice at Uttoxeter (2m) in July. Looks to face a tough ask now tried over further.

Ran green making his first start when pulled up in maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m) 10 days ago, tailed off 4 out. Looks one for the longer term.

Shaped as if in need of the experience when seventh of 11 in bumper at Uttoxeter on debut in July. Goes up in trip for first start over hurdles.

Has gone with little promise in 2 starts over hurdles, again pulled up in maiden at Hereford (2½m) in April. Returns with tongue strap fitted.
