Winner of the Morebattle at Kelso (for second year running) and Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m) last spring. Shaped as if on his way back to form when sixth at Aintree last time and can't dismis…

Smart performer at his best and is a former C&D winner. Latest C&D third in refitted cheekpieces (tongue tie also back on now) was respectable but he'll need more to resume winning ways here.

Bertie's Ballet (G)
Better than ever when winning this race last year. Another decent effort when second at Wetherby a month later. Not seen since but he has gone well fresh before.

Caballo De Guerra (G)
Plenty of promise in bumpers and looked a good prospect as he spearheaded a 1-2-3 for his yard in 2m Kelso novice on hurdle debut in October, readily coming clear. Only fourth in 2 subsequent outings…

Useful hurdler/chaser earlier in career. Showed that a good chunk of his ability remains on second outing back from a long absence when fifth over 19f here in first-time tongue-tie (retained) just be…
