14yo who has been absent since a heavy defeat at Newbury in March; however, he made a winning reappearance at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last November before a near-miss at Market Rasen (3m3f, good to soft), and it will be no surprise to see a bold bid from this front-runner; versatile ground-wise. |

Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender. |

Yet to run a bad race since joining Christian Williams last summer and doubled his chasing tally in low-grade event at Stratford (3m3f, good) in August; 6lb higher in stronger contest but seems a lot more likely than some of these to run his race. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Thorough stayer with nine wins on his CV; not an easy one to predict nowadays and failed to build upon his encouraging seasonal debut when never dangerous at Chepstow last month but has his headgear switched today and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

Veteran with nine wins to his name and, with cheekpieces back on, he ran well for a long way at Warwick 17 days ago (good to soft); that was encouraging after a lengthy break but he's no certainty to be as good again. |

Bold-jumping front-runner who is best suited by good ground; proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when scoring at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in July, his ninth chase win, but has become very inconsistent and needs to bounce back from two poor performances. |

11st 13lb |
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. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |

Recorded his third chase win when scoring at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) in April but he's not easy to predict and was pulled up behind Saint Arvans over C&D last time; was reported to have had an irregular heartbeat in a post-race examination and he needs to bounce back after a short break. |
