Form & Verdict
Launched chasing career with two wins at Huntingdon (2m7f/2m4f, good) last autumn and kept on for second behind a well-handicapped rival there (2m7f, soft) in March on latest outing; could still have more to offer this season and enters calculations; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Has had three wind operations and tends to go well when fresh, so might not improve markedly on his latest second at Haydock (3m4f, good) after 144 days away; still ran well though and assured stamina will come in handy.

Hampered when unseating in an open point at neighbouring Howick last month, and generally a safe ride; both handicap chase wins (from 17 starts over fences) have come over Wincanton's 3m1f on ground softer than good, and the drying forecast isn't strictly ideal.

Rated much higher in the past so Newbury last time was disappointing (3m2f, good to soft) after going up just 3lb for winning a small-field handicap at Wincanton (3m1f, soft); getting back on soft ground should help and he'll stay okay.
