Placed in three of his four career starts including when beaten 12L at Ludlow in a maiden event last month. Return to this trip not certain to suit but remains one for the shortlist.
Irish raider who has shaped with promise a number of times over hurdles. Disappointed when pulled up last time out and takes a drop in trip here. Wears cheekpieces for the first time here.
Not a lot of encouragement in three bumper outings and well held fifth on hurdling debut at Wetherby last month. Likely to prove more effective in handicaps.
Well beaten in a first time tongue tie on hurdling debut last month and a similar story for this Irish point-to-point winner in a bumper on his debut for this yard at Ayr in January.

Johanos (4/6), Thomas Do (11/4), Largy Bull (5/1), Skipthescales (8/1), Skywards Reward (16/1), Derrydoon (150/1)
JOHANOS has been running well enough over hurdles to suggest a race of this nature can come his way. The selections third at Ludlow last month is fair form and his yard have an 18% strike rate (3/17) in recent weeks. Skipthescales is worth giving another chance to having run behind a classy looking rival here last month while Largy Bull in the first time cheekpieces can claim third.
