Made it two wins for the season when scoring over C&D (soft) in January and bounced back from lesser run here when 1l second of five over C&D (soft) last month; could give another good account but he needs to be better than ever back up in grade if he's to win today.

C&D winner who is well handicapped on form as recent as last March and today's drop back in grade could help; however, his performances have been patchy this season and he needs to get back on track.

Not in flying form earlier this year but all three career wins have been at Cartmel, the last two over fences; the concern is the conditions as he does enjoy significant cut underfoot.

Goes back over fences for the first time since winning at Hexham (1m7f, heavy) in November 2023, one of three chase victories that year; however, he's been well below his best over hurdles on his two runs this winter, following a long absence, and has lots to prove regarding current form.
