Varying fortunes of late. Two starts ago found a couple better in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wetherby. Not such a happy tale last time when he fell in a steeplechase (4100m) at Doncaster. Use the good effort back as a proper guide.

Has a handy record over the jumps but was not a factor last time when beaten 17 lengths into sixth in a steeplechase (4000m) at this track. Rates highly on best form and can make amends.

Was unplaced the start before last in a steeplechase (4700m) at Kelso then wound up in fifth most recently in a steeplechase (4800m) at Wetherby. In the mix.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3300m) at Ayr finishing fifth when partnered by this rider Derek Fox. Before that first-up run he made the move to the Lucinda Scudamore yard. May improve.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wetherby but could only manage fifth in a steeplechase (4000m) at this track last time, arriving 9 lengths behind the winner. Will take beating if at his best.

Pulled up at Ayr two starts back then bounced back last time when third in a steeplechase (3300m) at Ayr. Right in contention.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3900m) at Catterick then again missed out in a hurdle (3900m) at Catterick last time. Not sure he is up to this.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (4900m) at Aintree then finished seventh most recently in a hurdle (3900m) at Catterick. Looking to others.
