Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit.

J: Beau Morgan

T: Ben Pauling

Has won four handicaps since last July - three chases (one here) and a hurdle race; needs to bounce back from two quiet runs over fences but there's nothing wrong with his mark over hurdles; stable won this last year.

Form & Verdict
Has not progressed from last autumn's winning chase debut but bumped into bang-in-form rival when clear second at Southwell (2m4f, good) in July and can cope with subsequent 2lb rise; major player in this company.

Four of his six wins have been at this track, three of which over 2m; has lost his way, however, since the last of those in May last year off 7lb higher; well handicapped if he can return to form after absence of 223 days.

Completed hat-trick when making all to beat Harel Du Marais at Southwell (2m, good) in May, after a break, but has suffered three heavy defeats since; swaps visor for refitted cheekpieces; rain a likely negative.

Form & Verdict
Generally very disappointing in recent years but finally turned things around with front-running win off considerably reduced mark at Market Rasen (3m, good; several fences omitted) last month; not sure to build on that performance or be suited by today's drop back in trip but remains very well handicapped on old form.

Had the run of things up front when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good) in August; well held in both his runs since, latterly behind Great D'Ange; an easy lead would help but that's not guaranteed.

Beat Lough Salt by (5lb better off) by 2.5l when winning over C&D last month (3m, good); didn't jump that well when third at Fontwell last time (2m3f, good to soft); return to 3m will suit.
