3-6 over fences, the latest win gained at Kempton (2m4f, soft; made all) in February; needs to return from seven-month break in prime form to have any chance off current mark but the forecast good ground won't be a problem.

Last year's heart issues look a thing of the past as he hasn't stopped improving this campaign and was particularly impressive when making all for a 7l success at Kempton three weeks ago (2m4f, soft; fine on good); beat some notable opposition that day and a 7lb rise could have been worse; reportedly has to go right handed; big shout.

Ran creditably off this mark in the novice handicap chase over C&D on Boxing Day, taking his form figures this season to 113; may still have further progress in him over fences; solid and respected.
