Form & Verdict
Safely held after bad jumping error on final circuit here (2m4f, good to soft) in February and now 0-6 over fences, but today's trip-and-ground combination ought to suit him better and he remains on a good mark; had wind op last month; one to consider.

If the ground is bordering on good then this 8yo could take some beating as he hosed up at Warwick last month (3m, good) on his second run after a break; the 8lb rise isn't the end of the world.

Following a break he reverted to fences at Kempton (3m) 12 days ago and returned to form with a 3l second on his favoured good ground; that performance reads well and he's high on the list today.

Can go well fresh; returns from a break on a favourable mark, just 1lb higher than his latest chase win, at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; bled from the nose when tailed off over hurdles in October so wellbeing unknown but has possibilities, especially if the ground is good.

Form & Verdict
In good form last spring, most notably when scoring by 8l off today's mark at Uttoxeter (3m, soft), but he returned from a layoff with three disappointing runs in December/January; had another wind op (his third) during latest 12-week break and needs to get his career back on track.

Form & Verdict
Three-time chase winner (once here) who is usually ridden very patiently; generally disappointing since returning in October from a break, but signalled a possible return to form when keeping-on fifth over C&D in February and might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces today.
