Form & Verdict
Six chase wins, the latest gained by 7l off today's mark in this race last year (soft ground); safely held on both appearances this season (hurdle/chase) and has not been an easy horse to predict in recent years, but it won't be a complete shock if he bounces back to form today.

Form & Verdict
Heavy-ground point winner last March; showed no significant promise in four maiden/novice hurdles last year, hence his puny BHA rating of 45; makes handicap debut from 29lb out of the weights but today's switch to chasing may show him in a better light, and last month's wind op is another possible source of improvement.
