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.

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.

Won back-to-back chases at Perth (2m, good) and Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in August before a career best when going close at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) next time; fair effort back over hurdles latest and could still have more to come in this discipline; player.

Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere.
