Bettered inauspicious chasing debut when keeping on well to snatch third here (2m1f, good) in June and is now 11lb below that mark but two lesser efforts have followed and his overall profile is not appealing; tongue-tie added today.

Kept on well to win from the front at Ludlow (3m, good to soft; front pair clear) in February and remains well handicapped on best of last season's form but he's too inconsistent to rely upon heavily.

Better chaser than hurdler and forgiven latest heavy defeat in a strong handicap; his last hurdle run was four starts back when beaten a neck at Wincanton (2m5f, good); could run well, though some stamina reservations over quite this far.

Admirable veteran who recorded his ninth chase win when making all to score from 2lb out of the weights at Fakenham (3m, good) this month; this is tougher off 4lb higher but he seems as good as ever as an 11yo and three of his wins have come at this track; key player.

Form & Verdict
Struggled to get competitive in novice/maiden hurdles last season but his two runs in big-field handicap hurdles in the spring (3m/2m7f) were much more encouraging, and this switch to fences may enable further progress.
