Seized the initiative, already having the race in safe keeping when left clear at the second last, at Doncaster (2m3f, good; from 9lb lower) in February; well beaten at Southwell subsequently and likely to face competition for the lead here; close to a career best required.

None too consistent but he made it 4-12 over fences when scoring by 20l at Doncaster (2m3f, good; was left clear late on) and he's only 4lb higher for this return to hurdles; still comes with risks given overall profile and he's 0-9 in this discipline.

Form & Verdict
Three-time chase winner in 2023; safely held when fifth of six at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) this month, after a 616-day absence, but some positives can be drawn from that run and he's dropped in grade today.

2m1f chase win off today's mark in 2023 is his contribution to the Greatrex yard's 40% strike-rate with chasers here; mostly solid efforts this year since returning from absence, and the slight rise back up in trip is a likely plus having found it all happening too quickly at Plumpton latest (cheekpieces added, retained).

Scored three times over fences (at up to 2m4f) in the first half of 2023; quite lightly raced since but comes here on the back of a good third of nine in 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford 25 days ago; needs considering with cheekpieces added.

Three-time chase winner who is well handicapped on old form and returned from long absence with fairly encouraging run in February; only third best on merit when well-held second of five at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month but still considered here.

Ten-race maiden with very unconvincing record over fences this season (four attempts); needs combination of refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference today.

Form & Verdict
Last of five on last month's chasing debut at Catterick (1m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces), where he was detached for most of the race but not beaten that far in the end; needs to improve here but remains unexposed and ought to be suited by the move back up in trip; no headgear this time.

Well beaten in maidens on first four hurdle starts (2m/2m1f, good-soft) and same story when 33-1 for last month's handicap debut at Taunton (3m, good); however, it's possible this point winner will be an entirely different proposition now switched to fences; wears first-time cheekpieces.
