Old-timer who is not easy to predict these days but he got back in the groove with a front-running win here (3m3f, heavy) in January; 6lb higher back on quicker ground but he jumped well last time and remains well treated on his old form; shortlisted.

Jumped better than on chasing debut when winning at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; not seen since slightly disppointing effort over same C&D three weeks later but could have untapped potential over staying trips.

Won his first two chase starts last autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good/good to soft) and close second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in January; perhaps unsuited by the first-time visor when pulled up at Fontwell last month and could go well if taking to the first-time cheekpieces today.

He went up 6lb for beating only three rivals in his second chase at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) and he never threatened to bring up the hat-trick at Plumpton (3m1f); might be capable of better than he showed there and Caoilin Quinn's claim is welcomed; has won over this trip on good ground.

Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender.

Tailed off over 2m3f on last month's seasonal debut at Fontwell but probably needed that outing (has poor record when fresh) and is now 3lb lower than when second to a course specialist over C&D just over a year ago; one to consider.
