Has done well this summer after a wind op with two wins at Cartmel (3m1f/2m6f, good); good second there last time and worth considering.

In-form 7yo who scored over C&D (good) in June and collected a good prize over hurdles here (2m6f, good) last month; seems fine on slow ground too and could still have a bigger run in him.

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.

Form & Verdict
None too consistent but he was back over fences at Punchestown 20 days ago (3m1f, good to yielding) and ran on well to prevail in a big field; that was his fourth success as a chaser and big shout if he can hold his form.

Much better over fences but handicapped accordingly over hurdles; just a respectable eighth of 15 at Down Royal (3m, good) ten days ago but went close on his latest visit to Britain (in a chase in June) and needs attention in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Has looked in good nick since returning from wind surgery; however, he was close up behind Caughtinyourtrance here last month and he's 8lb higher now after winning a Class 3 handicap over 3m5f here two days later by 7.5l (Fairlawn Flyer third); he's still a major player with James Murray, aboard last time, again up top.

Very useful in his prime and has enjoyed a revival this year, winning three times (twice here); seems versatile ground-wise but this is more competitive than the tactical, three-runner contest he won over C&D six weeks ago.

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.
