Finished second when fresh from a spell last start, finishing second in a steeplechase (5300m) at Cheltenham. Normally hard to beat with the run under the belt, with two wins and two placings at this stage of the prep. Sure to measure up.

Filled a minor placing last start when fresh from a spell, finishing second in a steeplechase (5200m) at Aintree with today's jockey Jack Tudor aboard. Generally goes well at this stage of the prep, with two wins from three second-up runs.

Won two back in a Carlisle steeplechase but was well held last start when 11th in a steeplechase at Newbury. Should be in this for a long way.

Ran in a steeplechase (5500m) at Cheltenham last start and was pulled up. Happy to risk this time.

Returned from a 303-day spell last start and fell in a steeplechase (5200m) at Newbury. Before that first-up run he made the move to the Lucinda Scudamore yard. Should be tough to beat this time.

Resumed after a 89-day spell last start with a strong second in a steeplechase (4800m) at Ludlow. Others rate better.

Finished eighth two runs ago in a hurdle (4900m) at Haydock Park then again finished outside the top three last time but was only beaten 5 lengths into fourth in a steeplechase (4800m) at Doncaster.

Couldn't go with Can You Call in the final stages last start after leading into the lane in a steeplechase (4130m) at Cheltenham, eventually finishing 7 lengths adrift. Looks tested in this line-up.

Should be fitter after two outings since a break. Safely held fresh but ran an improved race latest when third in a steeplechase (5200m) at Aintree. Should be at top and can hit the frame today.
