Beaten favourite on last three starts, albeit one upped to 3m4f and Class 3 and another over hurdles; largely back on track with last month's Wincanton second, and doesn't appear weighted out of further gains.

Hit the ground running for this yard with two chase wins in the autumn (3m/3m2f, good to soft) and then ran pretty well in a marathon chase at Windsor; latest defeat was over hurdles and is probably best forgiven.

Made the breakthrough on his fifth start over fences when scoring here (3m2f, good) last Wednesday; back down in trip under 7lb penalty but not fully exposed and looks a key player.

Lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all four runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and brought up the rear last time at Plumpton; unconvincing.

0-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat when second at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month, looking the likely winner until collared on run-in; one of two for the stable and a player off same mark again today.

Landed back-to-back wins at Hereford over 3m1f on good this spring; found out in a higher grade twice since but back at his winning level and should run his race.

Record of 3-13 over fences; 2-2 over C&D, namely good-ground wins this spring; below par at Fontwell in hat-trick attempt but has possibilities back here; admittedly yet to score above Class 5.
