Resumed from a layoff with a minor placing last time out in the G2 Charlie Hall Chase steeplechase (4800m) at Wetherby. Generally goes well second up, with two wins from five runs. Others rate better.

Finished fourth and never threatened last start in a steeplechase (5000m) at Wincanton when beaten 26 lengths. Rates well and can feature in the finish again.

Scored when resuming in a steeplechase (4800m) at this track two starts ago then didn't back it up when beaten 43 lengths into eighth in a steeplechase (5300m) at Cheltenham last start. Hard to fault on his best form and must be respected.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 56 lengths into 16th in a steeplechase (5200m) at Newbury. Can find winning form this time.

Won two runs back in a steeplechase (5000m) at Cheltenham. He earned a crack at a better race last time but eased out of the race in a LR (5000m) at Cheltenham. Prefer to see him back in form.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest sixth in a steeplechase (4800m) at this track. Needs to find a bit more to feature.

Finished fifth when fresh from a spell last start in a steeplechase (4200m) at Aintree, with today's rider Jonjo O'neill Jr aboard. Can find winning form this time.

Yet to fire in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh in a steeplechase (5200m) at Newbury. Fitter and is among the better hopes.

Very good off a break in a steeplechase (4800m) at this track when resuming. Won previously second up and appears capable of building on that record here on the back of latest performance. Further improved and expected to be in the finish.

Returned from a spell last start with a win in a steeplechase (4800m) at Bangor-On-Dee when today's rider Jack Tudor was steering. Boasts strong second-up stats and looks perfectly placed to add to his record.

Safely held latest finishing fifth but beaten 12 lengths in a steeplechase (5200m) at Newbury. Strong run latest and can measure up this time.

Was unplaced the start before last in a steeplechase (5000m) at Cheltenham then finished eighth most recently in a steeplechase (5500m) at Cheltenham. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.
