Has returned in fair form. Placed when resuming two starts back in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newbury then was beaten 14 lengths into fifth in a steeplechase (4700m) at Musselburgh two months ago. Tough to stop on best form.

Impressive winner in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter two back then wasn't a factor when fourth more recently in a steeplechase (5700m) at Windsor. Use the win two back as a guide to his chances.

Has been close without winning in small fields lately. Last start ran second in a steeplechase (4840m) at Wetherby in soft going. Has the ability and looks overdue. Can find winning form.

Not enjoying the best of luck lately, including the most recent run when he took a tumble in a steeplechase (4500m) at Stratford-On-Avon. Best form stacks up well, worth forgiving.

Struggling to recapture his best form, the latest effort a disappointing seventh, beaten 28 lengths, in a steeplechase (4900m) at Carlisle. Nicely placed and worth including.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newcastle then again missed out in a steeplechase (4800m) at Ayr last start. Certainly worth including.

Has not struck a blow this prep. Two starts back when resuming. Finished fourth at the latest appearance in a steeplechase (5300m) at Sedgefield, beaten 45 lengths. Might find this a bit too tough.

Has disappointed in the three runs since winning at this track four back. Beaten 61 lengths when ninth in a steeplechase (5260m) at Sedgefield last start. Can't entirely dismiss but must improve.

Failed to finish for the second run in succession at the last outing two months ago in a steeplechase (4900m) at Carlisle when he was eased out of the race. Big task ahead.

Filled a minor placing two runs back in a steeplechase (5000m) at Catterick. Repeated the dose more recently when second in a steeplechase (5000m) at Catterick, beaten 2 lengths. Likely to play a major role.

Sent out at long odds in a steeplechase (4840m) at Wetherby last time when eased out of the race. Others rate better.
