T: Martin Keighley

Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor.

Dictated pace when scoring at Southwell (2m) in June but came in a well-held third of four off 9lb higher mark in 2m handicap chase at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
2m3f hurdle winner; stepped up on his hurdles form when third on his chase debut at Bangor (2m1f, good) last month; didn't jump fluently enough to have a major say when favourite at Perth (2m4f, good) since then; cheekpieces go on to try to help him get back on track.

Pretty consistent over fences and hurdles on good/good to soft ground this season and has slipped to a good mark; campaigned mainly at around 2m but has won over an extended 2m3f; probably won't be far away.

Fair efforts in the autumn across first three chase starts, finishing second last time (2m, good) despite not jumping well; on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form; could be a contender now back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Four wins (three over hurdles and one over fences) at up to 2m1f, all on good; well treated on his best chase form; should be better suited by the return to this trip than the 2m4f at Hereford latest but it does need to induce a significant revival; first-time headgear may help with that.

Form & Verdict
Arrives on the back of decisive mares' chase wins at Stratford (2m3f, good) and Bangor (2m4f, good), for which she has gone up a total of 18lb; up in grade but she may not yet have reached the ceiling of her ability.
