Beaten in one run for Nicky Henderson but now 3-3 for current yard after coming from the clouds in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham last month (3m, soft); that win seemed unlikely when out the back for much of the race, and even two out he had more in front than behind him; evidently a strong stayer but this flatter, sharper course could ask different questions of him.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Had one run for Nicky Henderson; 2-2 for current yard, comfortably accounting for a notable rival (fourth in Tuesday's Fred Winter) at Exeter (good to soft) before winning easily again under a penalty at Carlisle (soft); brings a lower profile than many, having taken the back roads to Cheltenham, but he's a dark one; there is stamina in his pedigree, which is just as well when his wins have been at about 2m1f.

Form & Verdict
In good form in handicaps this season, winning easily at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in October and running well in defeat at Haydock (2m3f/2m5f, good to soft) on his last two starts; also effective on soft; has been shaping as though this drop back in trip could suit; major player.

Easy win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last October and he's continued to run well (soft/good to soft), finishing 11l fourth of 17 at Haydock (2m5f) in January on his last handicap start; not ruled out each-way although there's a suspicion he's vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip.

Won Hexham bumper (good to soft) on rules debut last June and was the only one to give a highly promising rival any sort of race before last-flight fall on 2m1f course hurdle debut (soft) in December; nowhere near that level twice since (23l fifth to Las Canals at Sedgefield latterly) but could come into his own in handicaps; hooded for the first time now stepping up in trip; worth a look in the betting.
