Three chase wins for Gavin Cromwell included comfortable win in good event at Ayr (2m, good to soft) one year ago; fluffed the start on stable debut in Cheltenham's Grand Annual but had yet to be asked for his effort when falling three out last month; now back down to that Ayr mark, while the first-time visor and booking of Harry Cobden are other points of interest.

Won in good style for Gavin Cromwell at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last April and on that evidence this 3lb higher mark may not be beyond him; however, he was underwhelming on his final two runs for that yard and a major turnaround is needed on this stable debut, for which a tongue-tie goes on.

Surprising that he appeared a non-stayer over 3m in last month's Kerry National as he looked all about stamina last season over 2m4f, including when a 125-1 second to Caldwell Potter in a handicap here in March; that's strong form and he's entitled to another chance at this trip.

0-13 now as a chaser but third in this race last year off 5lb lower; that was his best form last term and he's shown it only once since, when beaten a neck at Fairyhouse (3m6f, yielding to soft) in November; that was also his only long-distance assignment this term, so he could return to form with this step back up in trip; others are preferred for the win even so.
