Well below par in his last two runs (hunter chase latest) with and without the cheekpieces that triggered a return to winning ways in a 3m handicap at Doncaster over Christmas (good); not the easiest to predict and ideally wants drier ground, but too talented to rule out.

Pulled up at 50-1 in this last year and same outcome at the Cheltenham Festival last month, when 100-1; however, that latest outing was his first run for 110 days and he may have needed it; in front when making a bad blunder at the final fence at Bangor (3m, soft) last February and that form suggests he might not be a forlorn hope each-way, at what should be a big price.

Took form to new level in hunter chases last season and recruited by these connections prior to a staying-on third in this race; that campaign ended on a low note and, as in this last year, Its On The Line was ahead of him on his comeback at Down Royal; unseated mid-race last time; needs a career best but eight is no age in this discipline and he may have more to give.
