Missed the placings in a steeplechase (4000m) at Aintree two back then improved to finish second in a steeplechase (3300m) at Newbury last start. Ideally placed return to winning form.

Unwanted in betting last few and has run accordingly. Disappointing again last time and would need to improve sharply.

Recently experiencing fluctuating fortunes. Failed to complete the course in a steeplechase (4000m) at Newbury last start. Can bounce back.

Wasn't far away when resuming from a 185-day layoff last start, beaten 0.8 lengths into second in a steeplechase (4000m) at Uttoxeter. That run was the first for the G D Hanmer stable. Nice chance with added fitness.

Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a steeplechase (4700m) at Kelso. Improved and filled a minor prize last time in a steeplechase (4000m) at Newcastle, beaten 3 lengths. Hard to fault on his best form.

Returned from a 198-day spell last start with a win in a steeplechase (3900m) at this track with today's rider Benjamin Macey aboard. Big chance to go two-for-two this prep.

Has a handy record over the jumps but was not a factor last time when beaten 29 lengths into eighth in a steeplechase (4000m) at Newcastle. Disappointing that day and others are preferred.

Filled a minor placing two runs back in a steeplechase (4000m) at Aintree. Repeated the dose at the latest outing when third in a steeplechase (4000m) at Haydock Park, beaten 5.5 lengths. A big run is on the cards.

Strode to the lead early but was easily accounted for by Genois at the finish in a steeplechase over 3900m latest. Unlikely to reverse that result today.
