Tidy run when 2nd last start in a chase at Worcester and form has been improving over recent runs. Gets a reduction in weight. Will go close.

Bolted in when winning by 5 1/2L last start in a chase at Newton Abbot. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Likely to be well placed early. Good chance today.

Chimed in with a win by 3/4L last time in a hurdle at Worcester and dropping weight. Struggle to recommend.
