Was racing well off best prior to a spell, however at his very best when resuming he can measure up. Has zero placings from 7 runs fresh. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Pulled up at his latest appearance in a 4800m steeplechase at Wetherby then went for a break. Worth another chance.

Beaten a long way last time when fourth in a hurdle at this track when well in the market. Has ability and can sneak a place if finds best.

Very good off a break in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford when resuming in soft going. Won previously second up and appears capable of building on that record here on the back of latest performance. Fitter and looks a top hope in this line-up.

Returns from a 95-day spell. Finished off last prep with a win in a hurdle (3900m) at Doncaster, scoring by 9 lengths. Set to run well again while fresh.
