Progressed very well to bag a hat-trick of handicap chases this season, latterly at Haydock in January. Didn't jump anywhere near so well though and already held when falling 3 out back there a month…

Has taken extremely well to fences this season and really impressed when making it 2-2 in 2m Newcastle handicaps 55 days ago. Hiked up 7 lb but this strong traveller has a fair bit more to offer. Big…

Has thrived for switch to the larger obstacles this season, completing a four-timer in 2m Carlisle handicap last month. Up another 7 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Stuntman Steve (G)
A fairly useful 2m hurdles winner but there hasn't been much promise in his 4 starts over fences this season. This Irish challenger has plenty to prove.

C&D winner in January and he got back on track when second of 5 in handicap chase over C&D last month. This rates tougher, however.
