Did well to finish third two back in the G2 Elite Hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton but could only manage eighth in a hurdle (3800m) at Haydock Park last time, arriving 45 lengths behind the winner. Not sure he is up to this.

Less than impressive this prep. Two starts ago when resuming. Finished sixth at the latest appearance in a steeplechase (4800m) at Wetherby, beaten 14 lengths. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Was unable to repeat the first-up win when he finished second in a steeplechase (3200m) at Warwick last time out. Finds a nice assignment.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (5100m) at Plumpton. Turned things around last time to finish second in a steeplechase (4200m) at Fakenham, beaten a neck. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Produced a lacklustre fifth first-up last start in a steeplechase (4000m) at Wincanton four weeks ago. Looks tested without further improvement.

Scored when resuming in a steeplechase (4000m) at Lingfield two runs ago then didn't back it up when beaten 8 lengths into fourth in a steeplechase (4000m) at Wincanton last start. Must be given another chance - will take some stopping.

Has been close without winning in small fields lately. Last start ran third when well in the market in a steeplechase (4000m) at Wincanton. Has ability and is overdue. Worth including.
