Seven-time chase winner (once here); returned from break with disappointing effort last month but current mark is workable if subsequent wind operation and/or first-time cheekpieces prompt a return to form.

He ran well in defeat in the main last year and is effective when fresh; could give a good account on this first start since December but there's been minimal movement in his mark this season and he may again prove vulnerable in this competitive contest.

Seven-time winner over fences and recent placed efforts in some good 2m5f-2m7f handicaps were bordering on career-best form; highly likely to give his running once more but has an air of vulnerability about him for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
Jumping errors alone denied him a win in a Wincanton 0-140 in February (2m4f, good; Kauto The King fell at halfway); serviceable second in the debuted tongue tie latest (retained) and chance granted a tidy round.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off in a 2m7f handicap hurdle here latest; pedigree rich with chasers (nephew of National second Balko De Flos), but didn't look to the manner born in two attempts over fences in 2021; others more persuasive.
