Form & Verdict
Enjoys this ground and comes here on the back of a comfortable success at Haydock (2m, heavy), albeit against only three opponents and his market rival ran below par; 7lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he should give his running.

Has won a bumper and a handicap hurdle; off the mark over fences in a 2m soft-ground handicap at Carlisle and has produced similar form since then in defeat (1m7f/2m4f); won't be far away.

Reappeared with a win at Carlisle (2m, soft) last October and has run well when second/third off this mark on his five starts since (1m7f-2m4f, heavy/soft); vulnerable if bumping into one ahead of their mark but he can give another good account; no surprise if he comes out on top.

Emphatic winner at Sedgefield (good) in October and this C&D winner is fine under softer conditions; just hasn't been at his best the last twice, latterly back over fences after a break.

Looked sure to collect at Ayr last month when 2l ahead at the last but he went down to a rallying Ardera Cross; has just a 2lb pull on the winner but perhaps the subsequent wind surgery can help him see this out better.

Creditable second twice over 2m since switched to chasing; form dipped here (8l behind Travail D'Orfevre; first run since wind surgery) most recently but this new trip is worth exploring judged on pedigree.

Has regressed but still fancies the challenge and ran with plenty of enthusiasm before wilting late on at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy); only went down by 7l and dropping back in distance could be a good thing.

Nothing like the force of old but is handicapped accordingly now; dropped another 2lb since last month's very respectable fourth at Ludlow and will be suited by the return to this C&D; can make a bold bid from the front.

11yo who was disappointing at Ayr (2m, soft) last month but posted two respectable performances previously when making the frame at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) and Chepstow (2m3f, heavy), and he's been given a chance by the handicapper; could have a part to play.

Form & Verdict
Won this two years ago and last month at Ayr he secured career victory number 18 (nine here) with a 2l defeat of Fia Fuinidh; that rallying success came from 8lb out of the weights and he's now 4lb higher, yet by no means handicapped out of it.
