Just the one blip in five runs since joining Henry Oliver and ran his usual honest race when going down narrowly at Hereford in January (2m, soft; effective on drier); the winner of that race has failed to frank the form but this 7yo could still be in the thick of it here.

J: Lee Edwards

Won twice for the Newland/Insole stable in the autumn of 2024; creditable efforts in three of his four runs for current yard including when a close second in Market Rasen handicap (2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; up 3lb but he went down fighting last time and that was behind a major improver; respected.

Completed this season's hat-trick over shorter trips, in lower grades and on softer surfaces; won over a similar trip to this over hurdles but on soft ground that seems to suit him ideally; a good-ground renewal of the Grand Annual proved far too tough last month.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Henry Daly

3-4 over fences, the wins coming over 2m1f/2m on heavy/good to soft; clearly knows how to get the job done and he's on an upward curve, but he's 5lb higher than for a narrow win in a small field at Warwick last time and today is a much tougher test of his credentials.

T: Henry Daly

Bang-in-form 7yo who ended 2025 with convincing wins at Bangor (2m1f, heavy) and Chepstow (2m, good to soft); shooting up the weights but won't mind what the weather does here and commands respect in current mood.
