10yo who wasn't at his best last year but all six of his wins have come here and his third of six over C&D (good to soft) in November was a step back in the right direction; another 2lb lower today; in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Beat Bollingerandkrug by 2.75l over C&D in March and now meets him on 8lb better terms; also ran well from 10lb out of the handicap when 16l-fourth to Bollingerandkrug (now 20lb worse off) in a strong race over C&D on latest start in May; interesting but lacks a recent run.

Needs to produce more than he's managed this season on his first three chase starts, but Musselburgh last time was a sizeable step in the right direction and he could continue to get better over fences; won here twice over hurdles and he's well treated on his form in that sphere; not ruled out.

Won Irish point earlier in career but his four rules wins have come over hurdles and although he had a stiff task on chase debut at Carlisle he showed no enthusiasm when pulled up early at Kelso in November (first-time cheekpieces, discarded now); risky.

Lightly raced and generally disappointing since spring 2024, having been in a few different yards, but shaped quite well on debut for latest new trainer, in recent 2m1f hurdle, and reverts to chasing on tempting mark.
