Failed to complete the course two starts back. Finished sixth last time, beaten 24 lengths, in a steeplechase (4130m) at Cheltenham. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Made a winning return from a 307-day layoff last time out in a steeplechase (5000m) at Wincanton partnered by today's rider Rex Dingle. Key runner who is expected to feature again.

Varying fortunes this prep. Fell two runs ago when resuming. Returned to form with a 7 length win in a steeplechase (4800m) at Warwick last time. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Settled well back when returning from a spell and although made late ground could manage only seventh in a steeplechase (4130m) at Cheltenham. Doubt he will be troubling these off that run.

Failed to finish at the last two runs of last campaign, the most recent when he pulled up over 4850m at Exeter. Looks up against it here and prefer others.

Led from start to finish last start and came away with a strong win in a steeplechase (5100m) at Ludlow on December 3. Free running type who can measure up again.

Safely held latest finishing fourth but beaten 16 lengths in a steeplechase (5900m) at Ascot. Rates well and can feature in the finish again.

Finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a steeplechase (4800m) at Warwick, with today's rider James Bowen aboard. Before that first-up run he transferred to the Nick Scholfield yard.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a LR (4023m) at Naas then again missed out in a steeplechase (5100m) at Haydock Park last time. Looking to others.
