As good as ever last summer, winning twice over 2m4f (good to soft/soft); has won over 3m2f in the past (hurdling) but has performed poorly on either side of a break and he's knocking on now.

Form & Verdict
Formerly decent for Dan Skelton and returned to form from out of the blue when winning a three-runner 2m5f hunter chase at Newton Abbot (good; has won on heavy); posted a decent RPR of 127 so needs considering back in a handicap.

Very respectable third in Kempton hunter chase (2m4f, good) in April, after a break, and seemingly in process of running well before falling here (2m5f, soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but returns to a handicap on a realistic mark.

Low-mileage 6yo who lost out only by a short head on stable debut at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in March; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort last month but should be fine over today's longer trip and enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Was 2-2 in a visor before finishing last of four runners at Stratford (2m5f, good) on his final run for David Bridgwater; definite possibilities if shrugging aside that disappointment.

Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times.

Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy.
