Decent yardstick on the Flat and overcame 33/1 odds when winning a 12-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter over 2m4f last week, never for catching. Hard to beat here up 7lb.
Loves this time of the year, winning over C&D in September last year and also fourth in this contest. Arrives here off the back of a couple of second-place finishes and might go one better now.
Never a factor on the Flat for James Owen, and has often pulled hard, but has joined Britain’s top stable now and could prove to be a different proposition on stable/hurdles bow.
Failed to build on hurdles debut third at Uttoxeter in June until cheekpieces went on last time when winning nicely at Worcester. Should cope with the rise in the weights up in trip.
Gained a first victory under rules at Newton Abbot in August and would have won again on Friday only for a couple of shuddering mistakes. Turned out quickly at a lowly level and should win.
Previously showed no real form of note in a bumper and over hurdles but got off the mark on the Flat at Windsor recently and is thrown in on his second handicap hurdle outing if he can translate that form to timber.

Situated in West Sussex, Fontwell is a jumps only track that was first opened in 1924. It is the racecourse where Queen Elizabeth II had her first ever winner as an owner when Monaveen claimed the Chichester Handicap Chase in 1949.
Course: The hurdles track is a left-handed oval where the circuit is a mile. The chase course is unique as it is in the shape of a figure-of-eight meaning the horses turn both right and left-handed, because of this it doesn’t suit big, long-striding types and we always bear that in mind for our tips.
Feature Race: The Grade 2 National Spirit Hurdle takes place in February at a distance of just over 2 miles and 3 furlongs for which we will have a full preview and tips. It is recognised as a trial for the Cheltenham Festival and has been won by festival winners in the past such as Baracouda and My Way de Solzen.
