Thorough stayer who came second in the 2023 Grand National; not very consistent nowadays but did very well to finish third behind Stumptown in this race last year (good to soft), having lost ground when nearly taking the wrong course in early stages, and returns here after a win on Bank course at Punchestown (3m1f, soft to heavy) last month.

11st 11lb

J: Keith Donoghue

T: Gavin Cromwell

Last year's winner subsequently ran well when third in 3m6f Cheltenham cross-country handicap but form afterwards was disappointing, including let down by jumping here in the La Touche; fairly modest third of 4 under hefty weight back over regulation fences in 3m5f Haydock handicap on latest; age may be catching up with the 11yo but still respected.
