Didn't run badly without threatening in 1m4f/9.4f AW handicaps before finishing well held in a useful handicap hurdle three weeks ago; doesn't appear to be operating at the peak of his powers at the minute.

Often let down by his jumping and made several mistakes when last of six at Wetherby (second favourite) in November; has since been unplaced twice on the AW; potentially well handicapped but has something to prove.

Form & Verdict
Not at all pressed in winning his last four under Jack Callan, the last two by margins of 9l and 11l; laughed at a double penalty at Wolverhampton four days ago (1m6f) and he's handicapped to go in again.

Rapid improver who completed a quickfire hat-trick under Jack Callan with an easy victory at Chelmsford (1m6f) five days ago, despite being slowly away and clipping heels on the turn for home; now steps up in grade but he's the one to beat under a 10lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Now 9lb lower than for last September's 2m win at Chester (heavy) and his final turf run at Doncaster in March was respectable, finishing fourth of 18; would prefer slower ground in an ideal world.

Form & Verdict
Mixed bag last season after being gelded, though did win a 2m AW handicap off 3lb higher and was twice runner-up; his two turf defeats were in maidens so those are forgiven, but harder to turn a blind eye to this year's two modest shows on the AW.
