Sat on the speed last start in a steeplechase (4600m) at this track and fought on well to win. He has a fantastic record at this venue and is worth following up here.

Handy gelding who has won three of his 12 starts over the jumps. Was well held last time when seventh in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newbury. Disappointing that day and looks safely held.

Has been a shade disappointing since a win three runs back. Filled a minor placing in a steeplechase (4800m) at Kempton Park two starts ago then finishing 10 lengths adrift in fourth in a steeplechase (4780m) at Ascot last time.

Did a reasonable job when he finished second in a steeplechase (5000m) at Aintree two runs back. Improved sharply to score by 2.5 lengths in a steeplechase (4700m) at Musselburgh at the latest outing. Should be there at the business end.

Back from a 148-day break. Finished off last campaign when fourth in a steeplechase (5200m) at Chepstow, beaten 6 lengths. Others preferred this time.

Impressive winner in a steeplechase (4600m) at this track first-up two back then wasn't a factor when fourth more recently in a steeplechase (4800m) at Exeter. Cannot be written off based on the last performance.
