Unplaced in two starts this campaign, both over the jumps. Finished fourth when resuming then was 12 lengths away in sixth more recently in a steeplechase (5029m) at Aintree. Big task ahead.

Finished seventh two back in the G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup (5330m). Bounced back last time to score in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track by 1.5 lengths. Hard to fault on his recent run.

Yet to land a glove this prep. Two runs ago when resuming. Finished eighth at the latest appearance in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Won't find this easy.

Fitter for two starts this prep, the latest when fourth in a 3800m hurdle at Compiegne. Should feature in the finish.

Likes to make all in his races. Not far from the winner when running second in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track last time. Leading prospect who can find winning form here.

Took up the running early but was couldn't match it with Kivala Du Berlais in a steeplechase at this track over 4400m last start. Unlikely to reverse that result today.

Finished second two back in a G3 steeplechase (4400m) at this track then could only manage ninth last time in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track, beaten 43 lengths. Big task ahead.

Was very good when returning from a 181-day layoff most recently, beaten 1.5 lengths into second in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Should be fitter after two outings since resuming from a spell. Raced over this trip last time when fifth in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track. Has scope for improvement and is ready to find peak form.

Well fancied last time in a steeplechase at this track over 4400m but lost the jockey. Given another chance here. Rates strongly and should be right in the mix.

Did a fine job to score by 6 lengths at his latest appearance in a G3 steeplechase (4700m) at this track. Can feature in the finish again.

Looking to improve on a moderate fifth when resuming last start in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track. Fitter but needs to improve sharply.

Well beaten two back before running seventh last start beaten 13 lengths in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track. Prefer in easier.

Made a winning return from a 181-day layoff last time out in a G2 steeplechase (4400m) at this track partnered by today's jockey Felix De Giles. Boasts strong second-up stats. Fitter and will be tough to beat.
