Form & Verdict

Beat Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season when Isaac Des Obeaux was further back and mostly ran well afterwards; probably needed his first race of the season and he stuck to his task to go down by only a length at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); gives the impression he'll stay all day and a visor could work (replacing cheekpieces; looked lazy at times on that final run).

Form & Verdict

Has held his own in many a strong handicap, including when third in last season's Scottish National; fell early on his return so it was effectively his first race this campaign when possibly needing it at Ascot (3m5f); he's not without hope armed with his rider's 7lb claim.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't been easy to predict but a capable stayer on his day and returned to action with a near miss at Carlisle in November (3m2f, good to soft); the subsequent break is probably a good thing and needs considering.
