Looked set to finish second before last-fence unseat at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March and bumped into revitalised subsequent winner when second at Fakenham (3m5f, good) last month; went close in 2024 edition of this race on only previous visit to Fontwell; good chance.

All three chase wins have come over 3m at Southwell (good/soft) and latest was off 2lb higher last January; well held at Southwell last month but he may have needed that run after six months off and he's a player if he can get back near best.

Won from the front at Taunton (2m5f, soft) in March, his second start over fences, and bettered that performance when clear second at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month; likely contender if judged on that evidence but there is a nagging doubt over the suitability of this left-handed track, given she tended to jump right on her chasing debut at Ffos Las.

Came good over fences at third attempt, with clearcut win from the front at Taunton (2m5f, soft) in March; 8lb rise asks quite a lot of her here but the longer trip might unlock further improvement and she should be fine if the ground stays good.
