Form & Verdict
Has won over further than this so did well to collect over 2m4f here a month ago (good to soft) where he ground it out under a positive ride; up 6lb in a loftier grade this time and there are some doubts about whether he wants heavy ground.

Reportedly never travelling and pulled up when seeking the hat-trick at Wincanton in February; given time to recover since and current mark isn't insurmountable if back on song; possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Strike-rate of 5-10 under rules and has won two of his last three chases; it wasn't pretty here last time over C&D (good to soft) but he got the job done off just 3lb lower and today's slower surface could benefit him; cheekpieces added.

Has won two of his six chase starts but was beaten off this mark in a six-runner handicap at Wincanton last time when in the new cheekpieces (3m1f, heavy); unraced beyond that trip but he's one who doesn't do much in a hurry and today's marathon trip could be up his street.

Jumped badly right and didn't quite see out the trip when third over C&D (heavy) last time; however, that was still a good run in the circumstances and he's well worth another go at 3m1f now back on better ground; has won here twice and is capable of playing a leading role.

Lightly raced 7yo who won his first three chase starts earlier this year (2m6f/3m, soft/heavy) and he reappeared with a fair fifth at Sandown (3m4f, soft) this month; could improve for that latest outing and he's one of two for a trainer with a fine record in this race; likely player.

Not as good as he was but still capable and ran a cracker in Wetherby's Rowland Meyrick on Boxing Day (3m, good to soft), a race he won three years earlier; same mark here with Sam Twiston-Davies replacing a 7lb claimer.
