Took advantage of a steep drop in the handicap when winning at Perth in July (2m4f, first chase for current trainer); seemed to find 3m too far latest and remains on a viable mark if that was the case.

All wins on good/good to soft (2m-2m5f); won at Musselburgh in November (2m); pulled up on soft ground in January but posted a better effort back on a more suitable surface when third to a 20l winner here (2m5f, good) this month after a four-month break; should be all the sharper for that and he's back on a good mark; each-way claims.

Four-time C&D winner; returned from break with two low-key runs this spring (hurdle/chase) but may have been aided by refitted cheekpieces when running big race in defeat here (2m4f, good) ten days ago; up in grade today but still on a good mark and this return to 3m is sure to suit.

Veteran who gained four of his six chase wins over C&D and is versatile regarding ground; well beaten when 50-1 for 2m4f hurdle here last month, after a layoff, but that was also the case before he bounced back to form and finished second in this race a year ago; can't be ignored.

Placed in all three chases but no real threat in any of them; stamina still not guaranteed at this trip and hopes pinned on cheekpieces (replacing usual blinkers) and recent wind surgery providing a boost.
