Very useful chaser at his best but below par last season, just fifth in his bid to win the Freebooter at Aintree (3m1f) in April for the third year running; cheekpieces on when a remote fifth in 3m Bangor handicap the following month; has a bit to prove after a break.

Took big step back in right direction when fifth at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) last month, in race he won the previous two seasons; still on a workable mark and has a fighting chance here if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Has failed to show his form in both outings this term but a revival looks highly likely back at Aintree on return from four-month break; 2-2 over fences at this venue, namely wins in this race for the last two years (good/good to soft); had a similar prep when winning by 5l off just 1lb lower 12 months ago; commands respect in the hat-trick attempt.

T: Tom Lacey

Arrived in good form when making all in this last year (good to soft); soundly beaten (hurdles) and pulled up (fences) on his two starts towards the end of last year and he returns from a break with something to prove, but he's just 3lb higher than 12 months ago and is not ruled out.
