Won this last year (heavy) and, following an unsuccessful stint over fences, he returned to form when back over hurdles and third over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago, when short of room turning for home; contender.

Four-time hurdle winner, including three over 2m5f at Kelso (good to soft/soft); disappointing start to chasing career in the autumn but he ran respectably back over hurdles at Kelso (extended 2m6f) last month; now back on last winning mark and he could be dangerous on this drop back in trip; cheekpieces added.

Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue.

Went close over hurdles at Perth (3m, soft) in October before promising fourth on chase debut at Kelso (2m7f, soft) in a race that worked out well; looked short of pace on ground that was good to soft, good in places at Haydock (3m1f) last time, finishing soundly beaten in third (Ski Lodge second); could be in the mix if today's conditions place greater emphasis on stamina.
