Form & Verdict
Progressive stayer who tanked through the race before pulling clear in the final furlong over C&D 18 days ago (had a few of these in behind); not so good over 1m4f last time but he wasn't seen to best effect; still has some handicapping potential and returning to 2m will suit.

Course regular who landed a fourth win here (his third over this trip) when 28-1 and beating Edwardtheninth one month ago; flopped under a 5lb penalty the following week (Team Endeavour second) but that tactical race may be best ignored; could well bounce back.

Won off this mark at Hexham (2m, good; in added blinkers) last June; that was in a lower-grade contest (Class 4) and his productivity ebbed away thereafter (0-5; hurdles and fences); bit to prove off a 190-day absence; likely to draw benefit from this comeback run.

Three defeats as favourite in bumpers for Willie Mullins; however, he's shown enough in three runs for this yard to suggest he can be a factor at a lowly level now upped in trip again and switched from cheekpieces to a visor.
