Runs off the same mark as when going close in the Summer Plate Trial at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June, and he did pretty well to finish fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month having failed to settle; however, there's a firm suspicion he'll be vulnerable in a race this competitive.

Disappointing when upped to 2m7f last time but he's back down in trip today and was in pretty good form at Market Rasen previously, posting a close second and a fair sixth in the competitive Summer Plate; not discounted.

Below par on his four starts earlier this year but his win on the Mildmay course here in December may have taken its toll as conditions were desperate; a break could have helped and he's worth a second look now back down to his last winning mark; has won on good to soft-heavy (unraced on good).

Hard to win with having been beaten on his last 16 starts, and his form became patchy towards the end of last season; however, he's 3lb lower than when a creditable third in this 12 months ago on his reappearance and he's capable of a bold show off his dangerous mark; versatile ground-wise.

Frustrating to follow having been beaten on his last 14 starts but he's been placed on all four encounters with these fences, including when third in this race in 2022 (good to soft) and when runner-up last year (heavy); ran well in June when last seen and there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Unplaced on final two starts last season but prior to those he looked very good when winning at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) on second chase start; today's 5lb higher mark is unlikely to stop this 6yo if he can get back to his best, and his yard continues to enjoy an excellent autumn; major contender.

Absent since running an inexplicably bad race at Kempton on Boxing Day (2m4f, good; 7-2); that was only his third run over fences and he merely had to be pushed out to win comfortably over this far on the Old course here the time before (good; off 7lb lower); placed in a Grade 1 novice as a hurdler and could be better handicapped than a lot of these.

Ran well in defeat for Willie Mullins in some hot handicaps, including when third of 17 at Punchestown (2m4f, good to yielding) in May; respectable third over inadequate 2m (hurdles) on stable debut at Kempton last month; each-way claims if at the top of his game but it's a lofty mark to defy.

Has a tendency to idle in front and makes his reappearance minus any headgear; however, he displayed considerable ability for Ben Pauling last season when things clicked (remains in same ownership) and it will be no surprise to see a big run on his first outing for Dan Skelton; has had wind op.
