Two-time winner over timber, including at this venue last September (16.5f, gd-yld); 0-5 over fences but hasn't run badly the last twice (trip too far on latest) and the handicapper is giving him a chance; likes it here and not dismissed.

Winning hurdler and some good efforts over fences before getting off the mark here last month over 2m, defying top-weight when asserting from last for comfortable 1.75l win over Chosen Shant (who hit the last); 5lb worse off with that rival here but can confirm the form over this longer trip.
