1-24 over fences, the win for a different stable at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last May; ran well when second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) in February but was below that form when back at Hexham last month and is not the percentage call here.

Has a poor strike-rate but his sole win came over C&D (good to soft) last May and, following wind surgery, he returned to form with a close second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) last month; he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Debut bumper winner last year, when with Donald Whillans; placed twice from seven attempts over hurdles when with Gordon Elliott but some way below his best on his final start for him and in two runs for this yard; will need to show some improvement to defy this initial chase mark.

A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix.

Form & Verdict
