In cracking form this season, with three wins and a second, until however he went down by 25l at Bangor (good) on latest start; maybe the ground that day was not soft enough; major player if bouncing straight back.

A lot more exposed than many in here but he's been in cracking form since returning from an absence and his defeat at Leicester was no backward step (2m4f, good to soft); firmly in the mix.

11st 9lb

J: Benjamin Macey

T: Gary Hanmer

Has thrived since returning from a break in December, winning two of his three runs over hurdles before adding a third win of the season reverting to fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) last month, each time under Benjamin Macey; he's up 4lb for last time but is very much a leading contender in current form.

Equally adept over hurdles and chases, he has been in winning form over hurdles this term at Uttoxeter (heavy) and Wetherby (soft); resumes over fences and this free-running 10yo should be hard to beat with forecast conditions in his favour.

Won at Bangor (2m1f, heavy) last February and easily made all under Benjamin Macey at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) last month; he finished held in third there (2m, good to soft) 12 days later but the step back up in trip and forecast slower ground could prompt a bigger performance today.
