Goes particularly well at Carlisle and was off the mark for the season when winning there last time (3m, heavy); finished last of five at this meeting in 2022, but that was over 2m4f and is better over this trip.

0-7 over fences but runner-up on four of those occasions and his reappearance over C&D was pleasing; fared less well at Ayr when tried in cheekpieces and he could go well should he fancy the new visor.

11yo who is 0-6 over fences but has run some good races in this sphere, most recently runner-up at Carlisle (3m, soft) in November on his reappearance; having travelled well he could benefit from this drop back in distance and he's one to consider in first-time cheekpieces.

Very useful staying chaser at his best and has made the frame in both hunter chases for new owner-rider this season, more recently when third at Bangor (3m, soft) this month; won't be far away if in similar form again.

Returning from a similar absence (and wind surgery) when dominant from the front over C&D (soft) 14 months ago when only 2lb lower, after which he finished second in the final of this race at Sandown; fortunes went into reverse soon after but he's back from further wind surgery and handicapped to run a blinder if again on good terms with himself.

Won this in 2021 off 14lb higher; wind surgery before a partial revival this winter and he followed his third to Bushypark at Catterick last month with a strong-staying win over 3m there 13 days later; visored for those last two starts; back up 5lb but of far more concern is that all his significant form is on soft or heavy; big shout if the ground is okay.

Returned to hurdling for last two starts and it paid off last time when he was always front rank to win seven-runner race at Kelso (3m2f, soft; acts on heavy); tongue tied for the first time that day, so maybe he's turned a corner; back up 3lb but his form of previous seasons (up to last December) was significantly better.
