Awarded race at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month after clearcut winner had taken the wrong course and completed double when making all to score by 8l there (2m4f, good) on Saturday; has 7lb penalty to shoulder but won't mind what the weather does and has obvious claims.

2m1f chase win off today's mark in 2023 is his contribution to the Greatrex yard's 40% strike-rate with chasers here; mostly solid efforts this year since returning from absence, and the slight rise back up in trip is a likely plus having found it all happening too quickly at Plumpton latest (cheekpieces added, retained).

Scored three times over fences (at up to 2m4f) in the first half of 2023; quite lightly raced since but comes here on the back of a good third of nine in 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford 25 days ago; needs considering with cheekpieces added.

J: James Bowen

Three-time chase winner who is well handicapped on old form and returned from long absence with fairly encouraging run in February; only third best on merit when well-held second of five at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month but still considered here.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced in recent times and now returns from another three months off; remains capable though and was by no means cooked when falling five out at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); has run well on good ground but kept mostly to softer conditions.

13yo who has had 18 races, winning a handicap hurdle in 2019; tailed off when last seen in June/November and this is only his second venture beyond 2m5f; the switch back from chasing looks a positive.

Close third after six months off at Newcastle (2m, good) and four days later was again beaten about 6l at Bangor (2m4f, good) in a race that didn't pan out perfectly for him; thereabouts.

Ex-Oliver Greenall; wasn't in the best of form when last seen out (on unsuitable soft ground) late last year; can do better on this ground particularly as 14lb lower than for last win (2m4f on good to firm at Ludlow in 2022).
