Ended last year in poor form and he struggled again on his return at Cheltenham (3m4f, good) last month; mark continues to fall but he's now 1-15 over fences and needs to get back on track.

Ended last year in poor form on soft/heavy ground but the drier conditions ought to suit him better here and he won't fail through lack of stamina; can be very dangerous off current mark if refreshed by 130-day break.

Form & Verdict

Dual course winner over hurdles (2m7f, good/soft) in 2021 and runner-up in two 3m2f chases this autumn; can give another good account here but is not always a fluent jumper of fences and some of the others have more potential.

Form & Verdict

0-8 over fences for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland and was out of form when last seen in late 2021; changed hands for £1,500 in September; given a good chance by the handicapper before today's British debut but others have much less to prove; tongue-tie refitted.

Form & Verdict

Kept on well for clearcut success in what looked a very competitive novices' handicap chase at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in October and is now unbeaten after four races; subsequent 12lb hike up the weights asks him a question but his pedigree gives a strong indication that today's longer trip will suit.
