Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism in this race last year (good) off 2lb lower; ran well in September too but had a fall and wind surgery in October, since when he's been less competitive on the Flat but ran creditably in his last two hurdle races; interesting to see his market strength.

Won twice here last autumn, over 1m4f and over today's trip of 1m2f; hasn't won this season but he has dropped to a good mark and could go well.

Got back on the scoresheet over C&D (Class 4) last July but he's not really gone on from that and has been well held in his three runs this year; has dipped back below his last winning mark but he's not easy to predict and others are preferred.

Not at his best on his second start back from a break at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) nine days ago, but mainly consistent and is 1lb lower than when runner-up over C&D last September; not dismissed entirely.

Ran well over C&D in May (this race) and June 2021; however, he's been absent since winning at Thirsk that July (2lb higher today) and that poses a big question.

Form & Verdict
Three wins on good to firm in 2021 and two on AW last September; ended last season with two backward steps and he made a slow start to that campaign, but it's interesting to see that the visor (worn throughout last two seasons) is replaced by cheekpieces; rain would seemingly be against him.

Ran as though something was amiss four weeks ago but is accustomed to stronger races than this and is now 3lb lower than when placed for Joe Bradnam at Kempton (1m3f) in September; player if back on song.
