Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a hurdle (3200m) at Ayr. Improved and finished second last time in a steeplechase (3400m) at Kelso, beaten a neck. Ready to find peak form.

Failed to finish at the final run last campaign over 4000m at Kelso. Forgive that last effort.

A streak of wins came to an end last start when finishing second in a steeplechase (4000m) at Haydock Park as favourite. Key chance expected to bounce back.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest sixth in a steeplechase (4000m) at this track. Tougher task this time.

Scored a strong win by 3 lengths last time out in a steeplechase (4000m) at this track. Can feature in the finish again.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4100m) at Ayr, beaten 1.5 lengths. Can return in winning form.

Returned from a 255-day spell last start with a strong win in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wetherby. Looks a chance with added fitness.

Unplaced in two runs this prep, both over the jumps. Finished seventh when resuming then was 17 lengths away in fifth more recently in a steeplechase (3800m) at Catterick. Hard to have on recent efforts.
