Four chase wins, the latest at Leicester last December (four ran); only seen once since, when running poorly at Wincanton last month; good ground ideal and decent claims if that latest effort is overlooked.

Form & Verdict
Winner of his last three chases, in the last two of them hitting a flat spot before going on to score despite idling on the run-in; up another 8lb since last time but, given his running style, he is not an easy horse for the handicapper to assess.

Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence.
