Form & Verdict

Last season's chasing four-timer included two course wins (2m1f/2m5f) but he's been disappointing since, barring a keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; pulled up in Carlisle series final won by Wolfburg last month, and moves back up in trip with questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
Had a good first season over fences with a hat-trick of C&D wins from December to March (soft, good to soft); let down by his jumping on first two starts this term but better effort when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last time; one with a chance.

Three chase wins at Ayr (2m4f on soft/good to soft) last winter but below best there in March and at Carlisle since; Callum Pritchard takes off a helpful 5lb but adding cheekpieces acknowledges something needs to change.

Following a two-month break and a spell in the doldrums this 10yo returned to form when third of 13 at Ayr (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; this C&D winner could be in the mix if backing up that latest performance.
