Respectable efforts on both previous course visits, including a close fourth in this in 2024; weighted to strike, but must prove that the effects of the cheekpieces aren't on the wane after a sub-par latest effort.

Very useful handicap/hunter chaser in his prime (runner-up in 2022 Aintree Foxhunters'); only beaten a nose over C&D (good) last May, but his two efforts since rejoining Paul Nicholls in October leave plenty to be desired; enough to prove after another four months off.

In and out since coming to Britain from France, but he shaped quite well when fifth of nine over C&D in November (good to soft; Beau Balko second) and he's now 7lb lower; shaped better than the bare result (made a bad mistake) when fourth of seven at Stratford 12 days ago; needs to put everything together but first-time cheekpieces and a returning tongue-strap could help.

0-10 since winning a Huntingdon bumper for Alan King in November 2022 but has run respectably, as when making the frame in both starts since joining this yard following a nine-month absence; half-brother to winners over fences and worth a second look on chase debut.

Free-goer who was useful in his prime and was in front before last-fence fall over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and, providing his confidence has not been affected, he's an obvious contender.

Should be well handicapped and he ran well for a long way when a 4l third behind Jet Of Dreams at Chepstow (2m, good); perhaps went off a bit too hot that day and has to be of interest.
