Chase form includes a good effort off 4lb higher in the Southern National at Fontwell (3m3f, good) on seasonal debut; two poor efforts since but could revive in new headgear; four-time hurdles winner.

Front-runner who won twice over hurdles at this track (2m5f, soft/heavy) early last year; despite mistakes, he returned with a good second back over fences at Fontwell (3m3f, good), but then had another off-day back over hurdles a month ago; not entirely sure what to expect from him.

Form & Verdict
2m winner over hurdles; pulled up shortly after a bad mid-race mistake at Carlisle (3m) last week on chase debut; chance partly depends on whether he jumps better in first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
One of his hurdles wins came at this venue; ran well in first-time cheekpieces back here last month (third chase start), finishing a clear second having led two out until close home; unexposed at 3m and warrants respect in the retained headgear.

Moved to this yard last season and won three in a row towards the end of last year (2m4f/3m, good to soft/soft); disappointing subsequently but perhaps a break will have helped and he's down to a handy mark; interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Something was possibly amiss at Fontwell last month when bidding for a four-timer; otherwise progressive since last spring and her most recent success came over this C&D (easily beat sole other finisher); may still improve further; remains of interest.
