Five-time hurdle winner who has returned to chasing in recent weeks and was a clearcut winner at Wetherby (1m7f, good) on his latest outing; features prominently in calculations.

Somewhat similar to Zero Tolerance, being an exposed sort whose chase record is 0-8; the difference is that he's a five-time hurdles winner, most recently off 5lb higher at Wetherby (2m3f) in October; recent form suggests this drop in trip is worth exploring; interesting back here.

Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise.

Progressive in cheekpieces, winning at Sedgefield in November (2m1f, soft; hurdles) and March (2m, good; fences); should appreciate going back left-handed after being soundly beaten at Carlisle last time but he's 8lb out of the handicap today and the cheekpieces are left off.
