Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4100m) at Plumpton then again missed out in a steeplechase (3200m) at Warwick last start. Right in the mix if anywhere near his best.

Has returned in fair form. Placed when resuming two starts back in a hurdle (4000m) at Uttoxeter then was beaten 29 lengths into fourth in a steeplechase (4600m) at Taunton two months ago. Major player.

Last start was in a steeplechase (5000m) at Hereford when eased out of the race. Not expected to threaten.

Unplaced in two appearances this prep, both over the jumps. Finished sixth when first-up then was 10 lengths away in fourth more recently in a hurdle (4900m) at Doncaster. Can improve in this more suitable race.

Was very good when returning from a 82-day layoff most recently, beaten 36 lengths into third in a steeplechase (5800m) at Fakenham. Leading contender and can find winning form.

Yet to hit the frame this campaign, last start finishing fifth in a steeplechase at Hereford when beaten 12 lengths. Can sneak into the finish if puts best foot forward.

Should be fitter after two outings since a break. Safely held fresh but ran an improved race latest when third in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter. Has the ability and looks due. Definite claims.

Unable to find the placings after two runs this time in work. Last time out in a steeplechase (4000m) at Wincanton following a first-up sixth in a steeplechase (4000m) at Warwick. Looks to have the job ahead.
