Won a five-runner handicap chase at Ayr in March (2m, soft) but well beaten both starts since (latest over hurdles); conditions suit; a possible.

Pulled up on his return to fences but then beat three other finishers at Ayr (2m, soft) with Ben Smith claiming his 7lb; only 3lb higher but this is a deeper race.

He's on a competitive mark on last season's 2m chase form here and reappeared with a respectable fifth over hurdles here in November; however, he's had another break since and it's possible a shorter trip is preferable.
