Four good efforts from as many starts for current connections, though once again wasn't quite able to convert a winning opportunity at Huntingdon latest (3m1f, good to firm); fair claims off an unchanged mark, and ought to cope with any rain.

Form & Verdict
Three-time hurdle winner in novice company in early part of last season (2m5f-2m7f, good/good to soft) but pulled up in two handicaps in the autumn and was again very disappointing on last month's chasing debut; not written off just yet but arrives here with a lot to prove.

Thorough stayer who won by 15l here (3m2f, good) last autumn and returns after a pretty good third at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; significant rain would leave him with something to prove (unraced on ground slower than good to soft under rules) but, otherwise, he's a contender.

Form & Verdict
Came good over fences at fourth attempt, in two-finisher contest at Southwell (3m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; the value of that form is quite tricky to assess but he seemed to have matters in control until idling in the home straight; only 2lb higher here and probably still has potential.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on old form but tendency to clout the occasional fence often held him back and, following a long absence, he was well beaten over hurdles last month; usually ridden very patiently; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing.
