Returned from a 81-day spell last start with a solid third in a steeplechase (4000m) at Worcester, with today's rider Sean Bowen steering. Fitter and will be tough to beat.

Hasn't impressed recently, the latest when fourth in a Huntingdon steeplechase and beaten 7 lengths. Can sneak into the finish if puts best foot forward.

Saluted two starts back in a hurdle (4700m) at Ascot then was public elect when a respectable third, beaten 12 lengths, in a hurdle (4600m) at Worcester. Must be respected.

Did well to finish third when resuming two back in a steeplechase (3200m) at Ffos Las. Improved to salute in a steeplechase (4000m) at Warwick 34 days ago, arriving 2 lengths ahead of his rivals. In form and will take some stopping.

Last start was in a steeplechase (4800m) at Warwick when eased out of the race. Prepared to risk this time.

Strode forward and scored an all the way win when resuming in a steeplechase (4100m) at Bangor-On-Dee. Fitter and expected to prove tough to catch again.

Was most recently at the races four months ago. Started just once when last in work and won in a hurdle (3740m) at Market Rasen, getting home by 17 lengths. Reliable jumper with two wins to his name from seven appearances.

Retired from the race two back at Hereford then turned things around last start when beaten 12 lengths inot third in a steeplechase (4200m) at Newton Abbot. Meets a tough line-up so happy to pass.
