Quirky customer who is no longer the force of old and not always a fluent jumper; however, ran well behind progressive rival at Hereford (2m, good to soft) recently and remains well handicapped after a 2lb nudge.

Has not been firing on all cylinders this year but was placed over hurdles in the summer and didn't run badly on slower-than-ideal ground when back over fences at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) last month; competes off another career-low mark here; a possible if the ground is closer to good.

Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence.
