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.

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.

Just one win from 20 starts over fences but that came at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in May and he made a solid start for new yard when runner-up at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to soft) last month; usually races prominently and he should go well again back in trip.

Unraced beyond 2m5f and soundly beaten on his last three starts, the latest in February; however, those were on soft/good to soft ground and he's 2lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (2m3f, good) last October, which came after a break; he's one to consider for last year's winning yard.
