Up 8lb for easy C&D win, this harder but still well treated on old form, don't discount

Course winner, didn't stay 3m1f latest, this trip more suitable, should go well

Form of Naas second in March is strong, not as good since, may want it softer

Hurdling lately, below par in first two handicap chases, a bit to prove off this mark

On long losing run, beaten 21l in Midlands National on latest, drop in trip needs to spark
