Form & Verdict
Won quite comfortably when upped to 2m7f at Kelso (good) in April and gave pretty good account when third over C&D in Perth Gold Cup this month, albeit well held by Ballykeel and Definite Plan in the end; has become somewhat unreliable, though, and others appeal more.

Getting long in the tooth now and was not at his best on any of three outings in the spring, most recently when remote second behind Whistleinthedark over C&D; on a very good mark now, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces today.

Good-ground specialist who has very good 13-29 career strike-rate; easily beat his two rivals at Ffos Las (3m, good) 16 days ago and is still on a workable mark after a 5lb rise; good chance.

Triple chase winner at up to 3m, all on good; well below par in all three starts since finishing a close third at Stratford last October; sliding in the handicap and now drops in grade, so can't rule out a revival.

Form & Verdict
Didn't always look enthusiastic last season but was placed twice in blinkers this spring, more recently when clear second to stablemate Ballykeel in Perth Gold Cup over C&D (good to soft) two weeks ago; can make another bold bid from the front if the blinkers continue to keep him focused.

Looked as good as ever when beating Special Acceptance to win Haydock veterans' chase (3m1f, good to soft) in April but has become unreliable and was under pressure before unseating rider at third-last fence at Perth in September; not an easy one to predict.
