Beaten further but achieved more in recording a second runners-up finish from as many Exeter hurdling starts last time (2m1f, good); return to a flatter track is of no concern considering last winter's Wincanton bumper success (soft), and deserves to be shortlisted once more.

Achievements gained in spite of himself so far, refusing to settle in a bumper last term and doing good work until close home on this month's Sandown hurdling debut despite racing freely and a late mistake (2m, soft); can take another decent step forward if getting all the basics right.

RPR of 118 for penalised second behind the ill-fated Supamouse at Wincanton (heavy) last Christmas is the best bumper form here; disappointing hurdles debut last month to forgive, and may need further very soon (half-brother El Bandit won a Persian War at this age for Paul Nicholls), but still of great interest and return to drier surface no issue.

Doubt anywhere near the best of him has been seen in either midfield finish to date, one a Kempton bumper and the other his Ascot hurdling debut last month (2m, soft), though perhaps necessary to trust he'll consent to race less freely in the first-time hood.

Stepped up on previous bumper efforts when posting a 13l C&D third on March's hurdling debut (soft), seeing out his race better in the debuted hood despite refusing to settle and an unattractive head carriage; further progress likely reliant on helping himself and his rider more.

Already pushed along at halfway, so no certainty that a mistake three out cost him significantly better than a 13l third at Warwick last week (2m, good to soft); that still represented a good step in the right direction, and he's got place claims again here if this doesn't come too soon.

Beaten favourite in both bumpers, the 17l fourth of his Wincanton debut (good to soft; RPR 102) nevertheless looking strong form; needs to jump and settle better than when a last-flight faller (well beaten at the time) on his recent Fakenham hurdling debut, given what looks a deeper race.

Excuses on both hurdles starts so far, needing the run at Cartmel in August and losing a shoe when a still-creditable near-8l fourth at Newton Abbot last time (2m2f, good); no surprise therefore if more to come, though won't want to hang left again now returning to a clockwise circuit.

Half-brother to smart multiple 2m-2m1f winner Paloma Blue, but likely his outpaced 21l third on this month's Hexham hurdling debut (heavy) marks him out as more of a staying proposition than that one; not certain this drop in distance represents a plus on that basis.

Only ninth home but still ran to an RPR of 100 in a strong Huntingdon bumper in January (soft; 9-2 third favourite), his sole start for Olly Murphy; much encouragement for the switch to jumps in the pedigree (nephew of Vautour) and certainly remains of interest; has had wind surgery.
