Underwhelming display only start in bumpers but offered more both starts over hurdles at Ayr last term, making the frame on both occasions. Yard's runners often improve over the larger obstacles so warrants respect first time over fences here.

Didn't show a great deal in 3 maiden hurdles last winter but possible he could make a much bigger impact now handicap chasing on return. Market confidence could prove significant.

Posted best effort in this sphere when winning 7-runner handicap chase over C&D (good to soft, 11/4) 24 days ago by ¾ length from Trac. Looked a fortunate winner on that occasion but he is only 1 lb higher now.

Given positive ride when respectable second of 7 in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft, 11/1) 10 days ago, finishing tired. Remains on a workable mark and is likely to make presence felt again.

Progressive initially from a low base in handicap hurdles, gaining second career success at Newcastle early last year. However, not seen a great deal since and hasn't inspired confidence with his 2 attempts over fences.

Timeform Verdict

Preference is for STICK WITH ME SAM, who showed enough in his chase starts last term to suggest a race of this nature should be within his compass. Moon Phases and Treaty Boy may provide the chief threat.
