Form & Verdict
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when winning comfortably by 8l here (2m3f, good) in October, and also ran well when second in first-time blinkers over that trip here (soft) this month; now tries a new trip and a visor; no surprise if he's on the premises again.

Both chase wins have come in new headgear at this track, in cheekpieces back in October and four weeks ago when digging deep in a visor; no guarantees that he'll be so good again but has plenty in his favour other than a 5lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Made all over C&D (good) on chasing debut in October and added to his tally with ridden-out success at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy) last month; could still have a bit more to offer and benefits from Dylan Kitts's useful 7lb claim here; a player.

Won from a long way out of the weights in first-time cheekpieces at Warwick (3m, heavy) in February and bounced back to form with 22l success on seasonal debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in October; still well handicapped on older hurdling form but not an easy mare to predict.
