Form & Verdict
Beat a solid yardstick in Animal on chase debut at Leicester (2m6f, good to soft) and then ran well in defeat at Cheltenham (3m1f, soft); backward step the last time but the cheekpieces tried there are swiftly removed; if back on song he'll go well.

Two out of five when switched to fences last season, highly fortunate at Plumpton (3m2f, soft) for the second win but he did shape as if he could be an out-and-out stayer; allied to a good first-time-out record, that makes him interesting for today's reappearance.

2-3 over fences and both wins came here, the first at 3m1f (good) and last time prevailing narrowly in the Sussex National (3m4f, soft; just 4lb lower); goes well fresh, still open to improvement and he's with the same owners despite leading Joe Tizzard.

Form & Verdict
A willing winner of two small-field staying chases (on good to soft) around this time last year; today's softer ground won't trouble him and returns on a competitive mark; not easily dismissed, though he has new handling and the absence has to be of some concern.

Set to complete hat-trick before last-fence unseat at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February and has made the frame on both outings since; left behind by front pair when third at Ffos Las (3m1f, good to soft) last month that was still a good effort, and the first-time blinkers might squeeze out more from him here.

Ended last season with two wins and was unlucky not to complete a hat-trick on his comeback at Plumpton (3m1f, soft), where he held clear lead before unseating rider at final fence; only 2lb higher here and he had a tough assignment behind a major improver at Wincanton last time; respected.
