Produced a good effort to win two runs back in a 3721m G3 novice chase at Punchestown then pulled up last month at Cheltenham. Can measure up on his best form.

Made a strong return from a 237-day layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4000m) at Cheltenham, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey Sam Twiston-Davies. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Very good off a break winning a steeplechase (4000m) at Perth when resuming in soft going. Likely to measure up strongly on the back of that and is capable of improvement. Fitter and looks a top hope.

Resumed after a 258-day spell last start with a strong win in a novices limited handicap steeplechase (3800m) at Ascot. Improvement in store.

Won a maiden hurdle here at this fixture last year and ended the season with an excellent second in the 4000m G1 Mersey Novices Hurdle at Aintree. Big chance on return.

Good fifth in the G1 Spa Novies Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival over 4800m before returning with a promising chase debut second at Worcester last month. Leading chance.
