11st 8lb |
Successful in two notable handicaps (3m, good) in the 2022-23 campaign; finished second at this course (3m2f, good to soft) last month on return from layoff, showing he retains plenty of ability; major contender. |

Twice a major handicap winner (Ascot and Kempton) two seasons back after a break, latterly off 2lb lower than today; not seen since falling in another at Newbury in November 2023 and he's not come up the hill that well on previous visits to Cheltenham, but a case can be made. |

13th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Usually races prominently and can make the running; 7yo who had form figures of 1121 in handicap chases at 3m-3m1f last season, notably with a triumph on heavy ground here at the Festival, and he resumed with clearcut win on good in valuable handicap at Ascot six weeks ago; up another 5lb but the extra distance should help and he remains a fine prospect. |

10st 2lb |
Won at Sandown (3m, good) in February on second start for this stable and good second here (3m1f, good) four weeks ago; that needs respect but he's 2lb out of the handicap today and others are more persuasive. |

Won at Sandown (3m, good) in February on second stable start and fair efforts in defeat the next twice; however, he needs to be at the top of his game on today's reappearance if he's to win this competitive race. |

9yo who ran over fences for the first time since 2022 when winning an 18-runner race at Cheltenham (3m1f) on reappearance in October; good fourth over that same C&D next time and respectable fifth there two weeks ago; stays 3m2f but a bit below form in March 2022 when he attempted 3m5f. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Has flattered to deceive over fences (1-12) and jumping mistakes played a part; a bit below his best on his two completions this autumn/winter and has now left Dan Skelton; blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces for this first hurdle race since March 2023; well handicapped judged on best efforts but he's now a 10yo. |

18th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 1f 125y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Now just 2lb higher than for 13l win in the Becher Chase at Aintree (3m2f, heavy) in December 2023 and he's not totally written off; however, this 13yo has been a long way below his best on his last four starts and a major turnaround is needed; cheekpieces return, in which he's run well in the past. |

2-20 over French fences, the wins in cross-country events this August and September; position nearly three stone out of the handicap for this race presumably rules him out. |
