Only a 6yo and he won three of his seven chase starts when trained in France; all his form is on testing ground and his final runs in France were disappointing; could still turn a corner for Tim Vaughan.

Hampered but not unlucky when second dropped back to 2m at Leicester latest (soft); work to do with Rebel Dawn Rising and Janika on last Easter's C&D clash, and Hexham win afterwards might not be infallible proof of his effectiveness at 3m under rules (tired and just held on in slowly run race).

Won three times for Nick Pearce last spring, including when value for more than the winning margin at Hexham (3m, soft; 5-2; first-time cheekpieces); yet to fire since returning to Dan Skelton, pulling up in the Walrus at Haydock (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago; questions to answer, especially at 2m.

Very useful in his prime and enjoying a revival this year, with the latter of two wins gained here (3m5f, good) in May; last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable and he ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Has looked in good nick since returning from wind surgery; however, he was close up behind Caughtinyourtrance here last month and he's 8lb higher now after winning a Class 3 handicap over 3m5f here two days later by 7.5l (Fairlawn Flyer third); he's still a major player with James Murray, aboard last time, again up top.

33-1 into 18-1, flattered slightly by near-1l margin behind an idling Barton Snow in this race last year (good), but that was still a mighty run after 418 days out; absent again since, but his comparatively moderate RPRs around sharpish tracks probably concerns more.

Veteran who has done all his winning on heavy ground and is no longer the force of old; looked a shade unlucky not to win on good ground at Exeter (2m3f) in March, having made a bad jumping error in the straight, but is 4lb wrong here and younger rivals appeal more.
