Began season with convincing win off today's mark at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) but looked badly out of sorts when pulled up on next two appearances; seemingly aided by first-time cheekpieces when third in military riders' race at Sandown (3m, good to soft) last month but was beaten over 30l there and it's hard to know what to expect from him in first-time blinkers here.

Didn't jump well when pulled up at Newbury on New Year's Eve and has to leave that performance well behind; however, he looked one to follow when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November and is not written off.

Runner-up off 3lb lower in this race last year then went one better at Warwick (3m, soft); had form figures of 2FP in marathon events subsequently; has place possibilities, given how well he performed 12 months ago.

Well handicapped judged on hurdle and chase form of previous campaigns; this is his first season without a win and he's been right out of form when trying headgear on last three starts; no headgear today but, after one attempt last November, his stamina for this sort of trip has not been proved.

Form & Verdict
Bookended his novice chasing campaign with non-completions, markedly let down by his jumping the final time (eventually fell); in good form in between, winning twice before a creditable second over this C&D; likely player provided he reverts to jumping well.

May have bounced when pulled up on heavy ground at Haydock in December on second start back from a long absence, and he's had wind surgery since; prior to that he reappeared with a good second at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) and is a major player if rediscovering that form; has won on soft.

Form & Verdict
Record of 241 since switched to fences, despite not being foot-perfect with his jumping; overcame some mistakes to score by 5l at Kempton (3m, good) when last seen; now on career-high mark and can't afford to keep making errors but remains unexposed in this sphere.
