Missed the placings in a steeplechase (4840m) at Wetherby two back then improved to finish third in a steeplechase (4700m) at Chepstow last time out. No surprise to see him back in winner's stall.

Pulled up at his latest appearance in a 6500m steeplechase at Kelso then went for a break. Can measure up on his best form.

Missed the frame when resuming two back in a steeplechase (4500m) at Newbury. Atoned for that run last time to get the prize in a steeplechase (4700m) at Chepstow by 5 lengths. Will prove hard to beat on current form.

Should be fitter after two outings since a break. Safely held fresh but ran an improved race latest when fifth in a steeplechase (4800m) at Warwick. Should be at top. Can feature today.

Last few runs have been ordinary, most recently finishing seventh in a steeplechase (4500m) at Newbury. Looks outclassed.

Resumed after a 128-day spell last start with a strong win in a steeplechase (5200m) at Southwell. Leading contender.

Last start was in a steeplechase (6400m) at Hexham when eased out of the race. Needs to regain punters' trust.

Useful jumper who was back to his best to score last start in a steeplechase (4900m) at Southwell after he failed to complete the course two runs ago. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4800m) at Ludlow, finishing fifth when partnered by today's rider Jack Quinlan. Before that first-up run he made the move to the Nick Scholfield stable. Requires further improvement.

Well held at end of last campaign, the latest when pulled up in a steeplechase (5100m) at Ludlow. Looks one of the outsiders in this event.
