Was most recently at the races seven months ago. Closed the last campaign with a win in a steeplechase (4000m) at Uttoxeter, getting home by 5 lengths. Reliable jumper with seven wins to his name from 17 appearances.

Impressed when successful when resuming in a steeplechase (3600m) at Kempton Park two back then finished fifth more recently in a steeplechase (4000m) at Cheltenham, beaten 7 lengths. Likely to make amends for the last-start miss.

Was not beaten far when second two starts back before a disappointing ninth in a steeplechase (3300m) at Newbury last time. Bold showing expected.

Made a winning return from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wetherby, partnered by today's jockey Callum Pritchard. Boasts strong second-up stats and looks perfectly placed to add to his record.

Has had two runs since a break but is yet to find form, the latest effort a well beaten sixth in a steeplechase (3300m) at Newbury. Fitter and Should be ready to find best form.

Filled a minor placing two runs back in a 5000m steeplechase at Wincanton then pulled up at his latest outing over the obstacles at Newbury. What happened last time is not ideal so prepared to risk.

Has returned in fair form. Placed when resuming two starts back in a steeplechase (3400m) at Kelso then was beaten 12 lengths into fourth in a steeplechase (3300m) at Newbury nearly three weeks ago. Not sure he is up to this.

Accomplished jumper who was unplaced in a steeplechase (3800m) at Doncaster two starts ago. Atoned for that run and finished second in a steeplechase (3800m) at Doncaster most recently. Must be a chance again.

Returns from a spell of 10 months. Concluded last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3300m) at Newbury. Can play a major role.
