Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft), looking in particularly good nick on latter occasion; struggled from just out of the weights in last week's Surrey National at Lingfield but enters calculations in this easier race.

Not the force of old and his losing spell goes back to February 2022; pulled up in this race last year but runner-up on next two starts (3m2f/3m1f) and his front-running sixth in the 3m4f London National at Sandown eight weeks ago wasn't a bad reappearance; stamina not proven.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise without winning over hurdles; subsequently had wind surgery; off the mark on second chase start at Ffos Las in November (3m, soft; 40-1); ran well below that form at Leicester eight days later (2m6f, good to firm) and absent since; could bounce back.

He has had his ups and downs in the past but he won in fine style at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and went close at Market Rasen (3m, soft) subsequently, when well clear of the third; key player.

2-9 over fences; not one to rely upon heavily but looked in very good nick when winning readily at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and today's 7lb higher mark may not be beyond him.

Yet to win in nine races; sound chase debut when second at Bangor in October (3m, soft) and another good run when third at Warwick in October (3m, good to soft; form sound); below par on testing ground last time, but could bounce back in first-time headgear.

None too consistent but he's a dual chase winner (2m4f/2m) and was second to the odds-on favourite in a small field last time; shouldn't be far away if giving his true running.
