Made low-key return in October from one-year absence but is well handicapped on old form (even from 10lb out of the weights) and will be suited by today's ground; worth a glance in the betting.

Tailed off over hurdles a month ago on return from a break; second in a Hexham chase last September (in first-time cheekpieces) and needs blinkers to have a similar effect if he's to gain a first win over fences.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over hurdles (Newcastle, 2m-2m4f); returned from wind surgery with a laboured performance on his second attempt over fences (2m4f here; pulled up); much better next time when touched off by a progressive rival at Market Rasen (3m) and could have more to offer; 3lb higher.

Made it 0-7 over fences when pulled up at Hexham two months ago after a long absence; might be happier back hurdling but has been very lightly raced in recent seasons and it's questionable what ability he retains.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner; fended off the challenge of two subsequent winners when doubling up at Cartmel (2m5f, good) ten days ago; stays 3m+ and is just 2lb higher than for that latest win; fine here at Hexham and it'll be interesting to see how he responds to the removal of the visor.

Prominent racer; disappointing in three runs since winning over C&D (Class 5, good to soft; 7-4) in March; still 2lb above his last winning mark with the handicapper not cutting much slack; has questions to answer, but it's possible that a short break might well have suited.

Form & Verdict
A shade fortunate when making a winning chasing debut over C&D (good) in June but, after a slight blip over shorter next time, appeared somewhat unlucky when returning to 3m at Uttoxeter (tack malfunction); stays well and appreciates genuinely good ground; merits respect.
