Improving 6yo who kept on resolutely to score over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago and has now won three times since the spring; another 5lb higher now but a likely contender again.

Form & Verdict
Lacks consistency but capitalised on a reduced mark when ending a near three-year drought at Ayr (extended 2m4f, soft) in April, but has failed to reproduce that effort since and the 6lb rise is not the chief concern; however, he could still go well if at his best.

Yet to add to his 2m Ludlow maiden hurdle win but has run with credit since, most recently on handicap debut at Market Rasen when staying on over 2m4f after racing wide; likely to be involved off an unchanged mark if stamina holds up over this longer trip.

Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark.

In good form in the autumn, most notably when winning in first-time visor at Stratford (2m6f, good), but failed to build upon a satisfactory reappearance run when well beaten back at Stratford last month (wore cheekpieces); goes without headgear here; has a point to prove.

Came back to form in the autumn and gained a deserved success at Stratford (2m6f) in October, following that with two solid placed efforts off higher marks, latest at Hereford (3m2f) in November off 2lb lower and all on good ground; has a career-high mark to defy but is reliable and has gone well off a similar break before.

Form & Verdict
Won three consecutive small-field races in the autumn, the latest a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good), but has been well below par on his two subsequent starts, including at Market Rasen in May after a break; remains feasibly treated if the cheekpieces and tongue-tie prove a positive addition.
