Well handicapped and latest hurdle win should have done his confidence some good

C&D winner in the spring; raised 7lb but he's only a 6yo and can improve some more

Has rocketed up the weights for going 4-5 over fences; 5lb rise for last time seems fair

Back from a break with his yard in terrific form; well handicapped and much respected

On a realistic mark back over fences and should give his running
