Form & Verdict
His mark continues to fall and he was a fair third at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in January on his stable debut; not ruled out but he's since been well beaten at Catterick (2m3f, soft) and needs to leave that behind.

Has modest 2-28 career strike-rate and is not the force of old but his chase win was gained on heavy ground and he posted a sound effort when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month; tries a new trip here; contender if stamina holds out.

Form & Verdict
Won two point-to-points in February and completed a hat-trick when scoring on his belated chase debut over C&D (heavy) on March 16; ran flat and pulled up at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) last Thursday which severely dents confidence in his claims today, but he's not written off.

Yet to win over fences but acts well over C&D and heavy ground has tested him on last two starts, finding little in the closing stages when last seen in March (cheekpieces added, retained today); this less draining ground can suit; thereabouts again.

Form & Verdict
Solid second at Wetherby (2m3f, good) in February and occupied the same position on his subsequent chase debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, soft) despite two bad jumping mistakes; could do with minimising the blunders but the first-time cheekpieces could help in that regard; firmly in calculations.

Unable to get competitive this season on his first four chase starts; however, both hurdle wins came here (2m4f, including on heavy) and this is his first chase outing at Hexham; he's therefore worth a second look.
