Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; didn't get very far at Listowel two weeks ago but was badly hampered by a faller and he was heavily backed in that competitive race; still looks on a workable mark and this admirable veteran is a key player for in-form yard.

Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth 19 days ago (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; this will take more winning but if as good again he'll be involved.

Form & Verdict
Decent efforts in handicap chases on last four starts, winning four-runner event at Kelso in March (3m4f, good) in latest of them; has won after making the running so could be the one to dictate matters.

Kept on well to win over 3m here (good to soft) last December and was back on the scoresheet when leading close home at Kelso (3m4f, good) in May; returned from a break with a fair second of four at Perth (3m, good) in September and today's test could be right up his street; cheekpieces go on.

Maiden who showed only ordinary form in three Irish points; placed in five of his eight runs over hurdles at up to 3m and begins his career over fences on an attractive mark; interesting.

Bagged a second C&D victory in November but his more recent form is less encouraging, only sixth over C&D last time; handily weighted if getting back on track, though.

J: Miss Venetia Thompson

T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith

Veteran who has looked as good as ever for his new stable this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f); probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but reverts to chasing after a respectable hurdle run and is suited by this C&D.

12yo who has been better than ever over fences this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft); this is a rare run over hurdles but he has a lower mark in this sphere, in which he scored twice in 2020; likes it here; one to consider.
