OR: 108

Form & Verdict
Well treated on chase form as recent as last summer but this 12yo has been struggling for a while, with and without headgear; the return of a tongue-tie is no bad thing and cheekpieces are given a whirl; not without hope of turning things around.

Back in very good form since fitted with cheekpieces this spring, most recently when ready winner of C&D trial for this race last month; went up another 10lb for that but remains well handicapped on some of last summer's form; can't be ruled out.

Dropped a long way down the weights before making all for wide-margin course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces last month and ran well under a penalty at Cartmel a week later (effectively on same mark today), despite jumping right throughout; sure to be suited by the return to this right-handed track and evidently back in good nick now.

Plummeted down the weights last season but was seemingly revitalised by first-time cheekpieces when making all to win by 18l at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) a week ago; faces stronger opposition and has 7lb penalty to shoulder here but remains very well handicapped on form as recent as last summer.

Beaten more than 20l on last month's C&D return from nearly a year off; two course wins in 2021 were gained in cheekpieces, which are back on; not as good as he was but can be expected to give it a go.

3-8 over fences and a late mistake proved costly when runner-up at Exeter (2m3f, good to firm) on his final sighting in October; decent record fresh and considered.
