Form & Verdict
0-6 and generally disappointing during first season over fences, signing off with a poor performance in April; returns from six-month break on a good mark, though, and last month's wind op could quite plausibly aid a return to form; cheekpieces (worn for last three runs) discarded.

Form & Verdict
Much improved 9yo who won twice at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July and rebounded quickly from a poor run there with ready success at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; also has form on good to soft ground (unproven on soft); makes obvious appeal in current mood.

Four chase wins include two here, one in this race last year; creditable return from a break at Fontwell in April but he's struggled in two Warwick runs since, the step up to 3m seemingly not the main issue last time; just below his latest winning mark though so hard to dismiss.
