Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times.

Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy.

Winning pointer who ran some good races over hurdles for Dan Skelton but failed to win any of them; minor form in three chase starts for current operation and can only be watched for now.

Winning pointer who is 0-5 over hurdles and 0-6 as a chaser; hasn't been threatening to put that right, with and without headgear; found a weak race here but could do with upping his game.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced chaser who has improved to win his last two races at about 3m (from the front), on good to soft at Uttoxeter and heavy at Chepstow; raised 8lb for last time but won nicely and the runner-up has done well since; obvious claims.

Made all to win two chase (3m; good to soft and heavy) last winter but he's flopped in his last two starts and latest was at this track in November; still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to get back on track after another break.

OR: 104

Form & Verdict
The season started well with two seconds on slow ground but he dropped away at Lingfield last time and was pulled up; it's clear that he has the ability to be competitive but Charlie Deutsch probably had the pick of the Williams pair.

Bettered poor seasonal debut when third over C&D (good to soft; 8l behind Anytrixwilldo) in refitted blinkers in January, but he ought to have been suited by the heavy ground when pulled up at Ffos Las on Friday and has become far too unreliable.

No better for the 279-day break when registering yet another pulling up last month, despite having his preferred 3m on slow ground; 9lb below his one British winning mark now but hard to warm to; blinkers return.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning start over fences at Ludlow in October (2m4f, good) and not far off that form in his last three races, at 2m, 2m5f and 3m (all on good to soft); looking handicapped about right but has an each-way chance.
