Multiple point winner who is now on a roll over fences, making it four wins in his last five starts when making all to score by 8l at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in May; up another 4lb but he's really clicked with Isabelle Ryder and is open to more progress back from a break; big player.

Ran well for a long way from out of the weights with tongue-tie added over C&D (good to firm; 66-1) 12 days ago; 7lb lower today but his career strike-rate is now 0-41 and he's not easy to predict; others preferred.

Mostly consistent in defeat over hurdles and the same again over fences until digging the deepest under a positive ride at Stratford (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces); must have every chance off 4lb higher.

Not yet proven over this far but ran quite well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in August and is now back on same mark as for narrow course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; no surprise if he features.

In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip.
