Form & Verdict
Finally got off the mark over fences at Haydock (2m4f, soft) in March and he's fine at this trip and on good ground; below best here ten days ago but that was over hurdles; every chance he'll be bang there now back chasing.

Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here.

11yo whose losing run goes back 11 races to November 2024 but he ran pretty well off his lower hurdle mark at Musselburgh last month, following a break, and all four of his wins have come over fences (two of them here); not discounted back chasing.

Form & Verdict
Exploited a reduced mark to win over C&D (good to soft) this month and he's also effective on good ground; he's 6lb higher today and that was a first win at the 21st attempt, but he's still entitled to respect.

1-24 over fences, the win for a different stable at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last May; ran well when second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) in February but was below that form when back at Hexham last month and is not the percentage call here.
