Twice well beaten over C&D this winter, including last time, but in between he won at Plumpton and he's a two-time C&D winner who was third in this race last year; has won on a variety of ground; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
On the downgrade now and not yet proven over this far but suggested he might be ready to exploit some help from the handicapper when second at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; will be fine on today's ground and has a fighting chance if his stamina holds out.

Raced mainly at around 2m4f and is on the downgrade now; went close off his much-reduced mark in four-runner race at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in January but safely held twice since; formerly trained by Milton Harris/Anthony Charlton; now with Hariet Dickin; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Won four times (once over C&D) during productive campaign last season; weakened into seventh in quite valuable C&D event won by Blade Runner on reappearance outing in November and not seen again since but further progress is not yet out of the question.

Good strike-rate of 7-19 over fences but he's been well below form in both runs since his last win at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) in March; has quite a bit to prove again at this new trip but seems ideally suited by testing ground.

Form & Verdict
Eight-time chase winner who stays well and is versatile regarding ground; began this season with three pretty good runs in the autumn but was pulled up on last two appearances; younger rivals are more persuasive.
