4-9 over fences but has departed mid-race in his last two chases and now reverts to hurdling off a 5lb lower mark; 0-10 in this discipline but he has been placed and could go well.

Four-time chase winner, most recently at Plumpton (2m1f, good) in November before falling in a Sandown Class 3 in January; returned from a break with two solid placed efforts in March over hurdles, latest when a close second at Taunton (2m3f, good) 21 days ago; switches back to fences in a very small field and should go well.

Form & Verdict
Started off for Robbie Llewellyn with three disappointing runs but fared much better and led until after final fence when fourth here (2m7f, good to soft) in first-time visor three weeks ago; remains well handicapped on older form and will presumably be ridden positively again over today's much shorter trip.

Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures.

Form & Verdict
Caused 20-1 surprise here (2m2f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from a lesser effort when second from out of the weights over C&D (good to soft) in January; effectively 1lb lower today; no surprise if he gives another good account.

Has won five of his eight chases since November (2m-2m3f); he has predictably shot up the weights and all wins have come under Rian Corcoran who was claiming 7lb or 10lb; therefore, has a lot more on his plate now he's raised in grade off a 5lb higher mark than last time.

Made the frame on last four appearances (once over C&D) and continues to slip down the weights but is nothing like the force of old and needs the new cheekpieces to give him a boost today.
