Ended last season in superb form, winning three in a row in cheekpieces (2m4f-3m, good to soft); could quite plausibly improve again this term but the cheekpieces are missing on this first start for six months.

Won five times and developed into very useful chaser in 2022 but was disappointing on both appearances last season, latterly when reverting to hurdling in January; hooded for first time here; needs to get career back on track.

Form & Verdict
Dual chase winner on good ground last season (2m4f/2m3f), and today's slower conditions also suit; prone to the odd jumping error and signed off with a below-par run in May but is not yet fully exposed over fences.

11yo who has a poor strike-rate and isn't the force of old but, following a wind op, he returned to form with a clear, close second in a first-time visor (retained) at Ayr (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; also effective on good to soft; in the mix if backing up that latest run, despite 6lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good); off since midfield finish at Cheltenham Festival in March and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but the return to this track is an obvious plus.
