[T]
Likeable front-runner ended last term on the up, winning back-to-back 2m handicaps. Disappointing when tailed off at Chepstow on reappearance and stamina to prove now stepping up in trip.

Landed a maiden in good style over C&D last season and came on for his reappearance when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Ascot (15.7f, good) 21 days ago. Will be suited by a return to this trip and must be taken seriously.

Beau Quali (G)

Wasted no time getting back on track reverting to hurdling when good second of 7 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 28 days ago, pulling clear of rest with an unexposed stable-switcher. Should remain competitive.

Harel Du Marais (G)
Fared better than of late reverting to hurdling when third in 6-runner handicap (15/2) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Up in trip and in much deeper waters here, however.
