He was completing a hat-trick last season when beating Marlacoo at Sandown (2m4f, soft; effective on good to soft); however, there's been no sign of that form this campaign and his usual hood is removed.

Made all in debuted cheekpieces at Taunton in February (2m5f, good to soft); 7lb rise for posting that course record time was fair, and the subsequent Newbury defeat instead looked owed to the same sort of fight for the early lead which Joltin N Jiving might yet give him here.

Lightly raced 7yo who bolted up on stable/chase debut at Perth (3m, good) last July; went up 24lb for that success but he continued the good work when runner-up at Uttoxeter (3m2f/3m) in his final two starts last year; returns after 168 days off but his last win was after a break and he still has potential as a chaser; interesting contender with cheekpieces added.
