Runner-up in 3m1f handicap on this card last season and progressing well this season, recording third handicap win when scoring over 3m2f at Doncaster with runaway success in valuable 3-finisher contest in late February in first-time cheekpieces; plausible he could be open to more improvement at this extreme trip.

2-6 over fences; a beaten favourite in his last two races but perhaps needed the first of those and departed too far out at Cheltenham to know how he'd have fared; potentially on a good mark should the new cheekpieces receive a positive response.

Won from the front in first-time visor (kept since) at Doncaster in December; back to form when second at Newbury on latest start, his second run after his second wind operation; has a competitive mark but his inconsistency and going beyond 3m2f both introduce doubts.

Not easy to predict but he's only 2lb higher than when making all at Doncaster (3m, good) just after Christmas, and he probably went off too fast when beaten 33l there (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago; not discounted.

Three wins during last season's first campaign over fences (2m3f-3m, including on soft) and this front-runner has run well to be placed on his last two starts, most recently when just outstayed over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 3m1f; today's 3m around a flat track could prove ideal.

Beat Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season and mostly ran well afterwards; seems back in fair form, as he went close at Ludlow and ran a lot better than a 21l defeat may suggest when visored for the first time at Wincanton (3m2f); that was his first time on heavy ground and it looked a factor in him getting so tired late on; one to consider.

Beat Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season when Isaac Des Obeaux was further back and mostly ran well afterwards; probably needed his first race of the season and he stuck to his task to go down by only a length at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); gives the impression he'll stay all day and a visor could work (replacing cheekpieces; looked lazy at times on that final run).

He's 2-2 since the tongue-tie went on and, although it looked unlikely for much of the race, he stayed on much the best in the 3m Great Yorkshire Chase here a month ago (soft); he'll need to travel a bit better if he's to defy the 5lb rise but the extra 2f should help.
