Four-time chase winner for Greenall-Guerriero stable; has a patchy record but he's run well in two of his three starts for current yard, including a clear second at Market Rasen (3m, soft) last month; has claims if he can back that up and his last win was off 1lb higher.

Took step back in the right direction when fifth at Sandown three weeks ago and continues to drop down the weights; however, he has a patchy profile and Sandown brings out the best in him; first-time blinkers replace the cheekpieces adopted last time.

Both wins at Wincanton, the latest in a 3m handicap in 2023, but he's dropped to a handy mark and the latest run at Newbury (3m, good to soft), his third since returning from an absence, suggested he could be interesting with this lesser stamina test; can figure.

Won over C&D (good to soft) in January and, after a good second at Market Rasen, he scored over C&D (soft) four weeks ago; had just three rivals to beat last time and he's back in grade this afternoon, but this 7yo has a progressive profile and could play a leading role once more.

Form & Verdict
Returned from a long absence this winter and it was his third start back, and a belated second outing over fences, when fair third at Catterick (3m, soft) last time; he may be able to build on that now back on better ground (both hurdle wins were on good going); capable of having a say.
