Form & Verdict
Came good over fences in three-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last summer and made the frame over C&D on next two outings; well handicapped on those exploits and returned from long layoff with fairly encouraging run here this month; contender if that recent outing brought him on.

Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
In good form over hurdles when last seen in the spring, most notably when winning at Ascot (2m7f, good); might have future over fences but this chasing debut comes after a 144-day break and the drip back to 2m is not an obvious move.

Hurdles winner here in 2023; well held in two chases this autumn but reverted to hurdling with a win at Southwell (2m4f) in November, travelling best before asserting close home; off since and 6lb higher today, and he's unraced beyond 2m5f under rules, but keeping away from soft ground is seemingly a help.

Both wins over hurdles when making all, one here on fast ground; ridden with more restraint since returning this year but was in contention before last-fence fall at Bangor (2m4f, good) two starts ago, and last month's Uttoxeter third was respectable; can go well again and it will be interesting to see whether she reverts to more positive tactics.

Both wins over hurdles when making all; has been ridden with more restraint since returning this year and was still in contention when falling at the last fence on her return to chasing at Bangor (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; looks sure to be thereabouts as long as her fall has left no ill-effects.
