Returns from a spell of three months. Only appeared once when last in work and was among the placings in a steeplechase (4100m) at Ayr. Sure to feature on his best form.

Has failed in two runs since a win at Ayr, the latest effort a 7 length fifth in a steeplechase (4700m) at Musselburgh. Rates highly and is a key runner if he gets it right.

Second up. Very good off a break in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wetherby last time out in soft going. Capable of building on that record here on the back of latest performance.

Won two starts back in a hurdle (4100m) at Southwell then wasn't beaten all that far over 3900m in a hurdle (3900m) at Carlisle. Worth another chance.

Disappointed when resuming last start in a 3400m hurdle at Carlisle, finishing seventh and beaten 17 lengths. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Failed to finish last time out in a steeplechase (4100m) at Musselburgh when well in the market. Worth another chance and can figure in the finish.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a steeplechase (4100m) at Ayr then again missed out in a steeplechase (3800m) at Catterick last start. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Filled a minor prize two back in a steeplechase (5000m) at Catterick then could only manage fifth last time in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 26 lengths. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Kelso then again missed out in a hurdle (3200m) at Wetherby last time. Not sure he is up to this.

Has been well below his best for a long time now and hasn't won in nearly two and a half years. Hard to make a case for here on poor recent form.
