In good form over fences here since wind op in April, most notably when winning over 3m1f (good) three weeks ago; should be fine back over this hurdles and over this shorter trip; respected in current mood.

Bounced back to form when adding a fourth chase win at Punchestown in June (3m1f, good to yielding); another good run at Cartmel last time when beaten a neck; reverts to hurdles now off a much lower mark, but hasn't been able to take advantage of it in the past; 2lb wrong.

Very useful in his prime and enjoying a revival this year, with the latter of two wins gained here (3m5f, good) in May; last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable and he ought to be right in the thick of things again.

All three chase wins have been over C&D, including in this equivalent race in 2023; equally effective over hurdles with three wins, the most recent at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month; last of five finishers when back over fences at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last time but cannot be dismissed around here.
