Form & Verdict
Both wins have been here, the latest over C&D in April when visored for the first time; couldn't defy a 4lb rise at Huntingdon and seemed to see out the 2m4f okay; should run well but might be vulnerable.

Runner-up on his only previous run here and returns on the back of a third chase win, gained at Catterick in December (1m7f, good to soft; fine on good); if fit enough then he should be competitive off a fair mark.

Has been in good form over fences this year, winning two handicaps at Market Rasen and being placed six times, the latest a third off 5lb higher at Sedgefield; hard to know how he will fare on this return to hurdling (well beaten off a 10lb lower mark on his last run over hurdles).

Seems to be getting his act together over fences as his last three runs have been much better; however, doesn't look ahead of his mark which hasn't really gone anywhere.

Proved hugely resurgent with easy win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) last week on third start for new stable, taking chase record to 3-10; well handicapped under a penalty that is partly offset by Lewis Saunders taking off 3lb; future mark 4lb higher; respected.
