Form & Verdict
Record of 5-16 over fences and he defied today's mark with a 12l win in this race (good) last year; has not seen much action since but he returned after four months off with a creditable fourth at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) last month; should benefit from that run and he's an interesting contender back at this track.

Record of 6-17 over fences after doing it comfortably at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) where Buckna was back in third; a likeable type who looks sure to give his running and be heavily involved; 5lb rise is fair.

He wasn't in the best form coming into this race last year (good to soft), yet he battled hard for a narrow win and then followed up by 12l at Chepstow (good); only 2lb higher than for the latter win and could very easily stage a revival.
