Reportedly appreciated the heavy ground when rallying to lead close home at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; will be suited by the longer trip here but the ground will be much quicker this time and he's very unreliable now.

Returned to form with narrow win in this race a year ago (heavy) and is now 1lb below that mark but well beaten all four starts since (three this season) and needs to bounce back again; headgear (worn for last two races) removed.

T: Neil King

C&D novice hurdle winner in 2022; thorough stayer who gained latest win in Surrey National at Lingfield (3m5f, heavy) in January; suffered heavy defeat in Eider Chase the following month and tailed off on his comeback at Ffos Las (25.5f, soft) three weeks ago; runner-up five times in cheekpieces and that aid is refitted on first hurdle start for well over two years.

T: Neil King

Thorough stayer who gained latest win in Surrey National at Lingfield (3m5f, heavy) in January; absent since heavy defeat in Eider Chase the following month, though, and might be of greater interest when back over a marathon trip and with this run behind him.
