Front-runner who bids to complete a Fakenham hat-trick after two wide-margin wins in two-finisher contests this year (3m5f, soft/3m, good to soft); the value of his form is tricky to evaluate and today's faster ground may not be ideal but, nevertheless, another bold bid seems likely.

Form & Verdict
Scored at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in December when wearing cheekpieces for the first time but has been disappointing in both runs since (didn't seem to stay 3m2f here last time); should do better now back down in trip.

Won off this mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Sedgefield in December but below par on his next three starts and he unseated early at Hexham 12 days ago; needs to get back on track.

Has been a bit disappointing since winning a novice handicap chase off this mark in first-time cheekpieces at Sedgefield in December (2m5f, soft) and has a bit to prove at present.

Beat three rivals to win on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last June and returned from break with three respectable runs in the autumn (2m6f-2m7f; cheekpieces added last time); has the services of Sean Bowen for first venture beyond 3m but this race looks more competitive and he'll have something to prove if the ground turns soft.
