Returned from an absence with 3 good runs for new trainer Fergal O'Brien at the beginning of the year, including a win at Huntingdon. Stable in red-hot form so unlikely to want for fitness.

Deservedly got off the mark over fences in a course hunter in March 2019 and not disgraced when 21 lengths second at Warwick later that month. Absent since and this his first hurdles start since 2017.

Hurdles debut effort at Taunton was promising back in January. Failed to back that up twice since, but makes handicap debut following a break for an in-form yard.

Fair hurdler who lost his way for Ben Pauling, Couple of in-frame efforts for current yard in recent weeks confirm he's competitive at this level.

Didn't look an easy ride on first spell hurdling for Iain Jardine last year, but he did cash in on a lowly Flat mark at Newmarket in June.

Very low-key start for current yard but he did cash in on a reduced mark at Fontwell a fortnight ago. Retains handicap scope up 6 lb.

On a lengthy losing run and returned with pair of tame displays at Southwell and Warwick recently. Hard to make a case for. Engaged 1.00 Fakenham Friday.

Unlucky not to win at Taunton in November before making the most of a good opportunity in a 4-runner seller at Leicester. Well held in a brace of handicaps but is back on correct mark for return.

A BOOK OF INTRIGUE was talented enough to win 2 bumpers, and though it didn't immediately click over hurdles, he's been handed a potentially-lenient mark as a result on this handicap debut. Project Mars is unlikely to want for fitness on return for Fergal O'Brien, while Crocodile Dundee is respected as a recent winner.
