Form & Verdict
0-8 under rules and doesn't tend to find much at the business end of his races but ran well for a long way when fourth at Chepstow (2m7f, heavy) in January, and the first-time tongue-tie might aid his finishing effort here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers.

J: Ben Jones

T: Rebecca Curtis

Placed four consecutive times (2m7f-3m6f) after his C&D (heavy) win in first-time blinkers just under a year ago; still on a workable mark but was pulled up when tried in a visor last month and is untested on ground faster than good to soft.

Lightly raced 9yo who has been consistent in staying chases at up to 3m1f but stamina appeared stretched over 3m6f at Exeter (soft) last time; will need to see this out better and the change of headgear is a grey area.

Form & Verdict
Jumped well and dominated four-runner chase at Fakenham (good) this month, his second start over fences; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but he was heavily backed and is open to significant further improvement if today's different trip-and-ground combination also suits.

Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; didn't get very far at Listowel two weeks ago but was badly hampered by a faller and he was heavily backed in that competitive race; still looks on a workable mark and this admirable veteran is a key player for in-form yard.
