No longer the force of old and not always a fluent jumper but won two chases in November (2m7f/2m6f) and was runner-up in three small-field races towards end of last season; suited by good ground and will probably give another good account.

Multiple chase winner at up to 3m; acts on a sound surface; has been kept busy throughout the year and put up his best effort in 2024 when second at Kempton (3m, good) latest; should be competitive.

Not the force of old and has failed to complete in his last two starts but this is a drop back in grade and he went close at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November; looks interesting on that form and he made all when winning this race last year.

Not the force of old and his second at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November came in a two-horse race; followed that with a poor run in a veterans' chase at Doncaster; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Hurdle and dual chase winner at around 2m3f, including on good; may be better for last month's return from a break at Chepstow and, if so, he's not written off from this 3lb lower mark.

Form & Verdict
Placed in both a bumper and a 2m4f novices' hurdle (soft); came good at the second attempt over fences when 40-1 and a decisive winner at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft), with a tongue-tie (not used on penultimate start) back on; shoulders a penalty but he's unexposed and a big player.

He has had his ups and downs in the past but he won in fine style at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and went close at Market Rasen (3m, soft) subsequently, when well clear of the third; key player.

2-9 over fences; not one to rely upon heavily but looked in very good nick when winning readily at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and today's 7lb higher mark may not be beyond him.
