Record of 2-8 over fences; his narrow defeat by Aworkinprogress at Lingfield (3m5f, soft) puts him in the mix and there were excuses last time at Exeter where he was kicked at the start, made the odd mistake and lost a shoe; can put a line through that; hard to rule out.

Fifth in the Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft; unraced on heavy) in December was up with his best at the time; suffered an early mishap next time but raised his game when rallying strongly for a close second in the Surrey National at Lingfield (3m5f, soft; jumped to his right) on latest start, which puts him firmly in the mix despite this 5lb higher mark and going this way round could help; he should have a big shout.

Capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Ayr (3m, soft) four weeks ago; he's also effective on good to soft ground and a 4lb rise won't necessarily beat him, but he's inconsistent and has a good record at Ayr, so it's questionable whether he'll produce another good performance today.
