Captured this prize a year ago and in good form until ridden aggressively when tenth in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase 23 days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him play a major role here. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well handicapped on some of last season's form but had fortune on his side when winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September and has been safely held twice since; should be fine over today's trip but needs to up his game; tongue-tie fitted. |

11st 13lb |
Made it 2-10 over fences when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September but the clear leader fell two out in that race and this 7yo came up well short in his follow-up bid at Bangor last month; others preferred. |

12st 0lb |
Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) last September and followed up over this C&D (soft); hint of spark at Kelso last time and he's back down to his last winning mark, but has to take another step back in the right direction. |

26th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Second in this race last year and three of his seven chase wins have been at this venue; did little on last three starts, the latest back over fences here when 33-1 after 161-day break, so there are mixed messages. |

Winning hurdler in France; not the most fluent of jumpers over fences but he was still a clear second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) the last time and gets in here off the same mark. |

Looked booked for second when presented with victory by the faller of the leader at the last in a handicap chase at Sligo last month; well beaten in a handicap hurdle at the same venue last time; a long time since he won over hurdles. |
