Has taken well to fences, winning by 11l here on his chase debut (good) before finishing a clear second (again over C&D) last time; went up 9lb for his win and another 4lb for latest run but is one with a chance.

Won two in a row over hurdles in October (2m5f/2m4f, good; including here) and ran pretty well when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November; unsuited by soft ground when below par at Musselburgh in December; could have a part to play if taking to fences at the first attempt.

Capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Ayr (3m, soft) four weeks ago; he's also effective on good to soft ground and a 4lb rise won't necessarily beat him, but he's inconsistent and has a good record at Ayr, so it's questionable whether he'll produce another good performance today.

Kept on to account for Thehairyfella over C&D (soft) last October; fortunes have dipped markedly since and he weakened quickly when beaten 45l over C&D (hurdle) latest; wind surgery and an added tongue-tie could prompt a revival from what is a workable mark; consult the market.

Won at Worcester (2m, good) in August 2024 on final run for Dan Skelton; he's struggled to get competitive this year, following a long absence, but the return to better ground and reapplication of cheekpieces (in which he won at Worcester) could both be positives; he might not be a forlorn hope.
