Made all second up and came away with a determined win in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter on November 27. Will take running down again.

Unplaced in two starts this campaign, both over the jumps. Finished ninth when resuming then was 41 lengths away in fifth more recently in a steeplechase (5100m) at Plumpton. Certainly worth including.

Two runs this prep have been moderate. Opened with an unplaced effort in a hurdle (5200m) at Fontwell Park then weighed-in fourth last start in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.

Returns from a spell of nine months. Concluded last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4900m) at Carlisle, beaten 11 lengths. Others rate better this time.

Has been close without winning in small fields lately. Last start ran third when well supported in a hurdle (4600m) at Bangor-On-Dee in soft going. Rates strongly in this line-up. Worth giving a chance.

Yet to break through this campaign and recent form hasn't been up to scratch, the latest finishing a safely held fifth in a steeplechase at Southwell. Struggling for best and needs to do more.

10-year-old stepping out for his 3rd run back from a spell and looking to snap an ordinary run of current form. Looks safely held on recent runs.
