Not an instant success over fences this year but has got his act together in recent weeks; gained clearcut success at Worcester (2m7f, good) 16 days ago and is also suited by this track; likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Prevailed in frantic finish to cause 25-1 surprise at Ludlow (3m, good) last month, his fourth chase win, and also ran well when third on slower-than-ideal ground there (3m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; will be fine on this left-handed track; good chance.

Six-time chase winner, most recently when finishing well to lead close home at Perth (3m, good) last month; it might be wise to treat the form with a degree of caution but he's only 1lb higher here today and is very well suited by this track.

Form & Verdict
Stayed on well to win this race by 12l off a 9lb higher mark a year ago but was out of form on his three appearances in the autumn, and it's hard to say anything positive about last month's reappearance run (albeit the ground was softer than he prefers); needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces.
