Lightly raced 11yo who has seemingly been difficult to train; absent since scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, good) in February but won 2020 edition of this race off today's mark and was a very close second to One True King in it last year; dangerous to ignore.

T: Neil Mulholland

10yo who returned to form when staying on well for a short-head second of five at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in September on his second start back from an absence; the step back up to 3m is a likely plus and he could be a player if conditions suit (good ground seems best).

Form & Verdict
Early faller at Wincanton last Thursday; needs to prove his stamina and he was soundly beaten at Exeter (2m3f) in November two starts ago; however, the subsequent wind surgery may have helped and earlier in November he was a fair fifth on his chase debut at Exeter (3m, good); not ruled out.

He won a four-runner handicap at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has failed to kick on subsequently, proving no match for Genois and Outlaw Peter when fifth at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago.

Won an uncompetitive race by Ascot standards in November (2m5f) and then only fourth of six at Ludlow; fell mid-race back at Ascot last time; bit to prove on the balance of this form in the last 12 months.

Form & Verdict
Fell/unseated in three of his first six chase starts then failed to threaten at Ludlow latest; something to prove but he looked good when winning two in a row last winter and may recapture that promise at some point.

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
Walkover win on chase debut at Ascot in November; well beaten at Sandown next time when failing to jump with fluency but he was better in that department in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wincanton on Boxing Day, when brought down mid-race; unexposed and could go well for top yard.
