Returned from a 470-day spell last start with a solid second in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter, with today's rider Stan Sheppard piloting. That run was the first for the Tom Lacey yard. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4000m) at Warwick, finishing fourth when partnered by today's rider James Bowen. Needs to find a bit more to feature.

Went for a spell after running pulled up in a steeplechase (4800m) at Hexham. Hard to have on form before a break.

Led into the straight but was no match for Regal Renaissance in the concluding stages last start in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 9 lengths. Sure to be prominent again.

Was only 5 lengths from the winner when second two runs ago in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter. Things fell apart last time out when he was eased out of the race in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter. Must be given another chance.

Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a steeplechase (4800m) at Ffos Las then found the frame again last time in a hurdle (5300m) at Newton Abbot, beaten 43 lengths. Likely to play a major role.

Missed the placings in a steeplechase (4900m) at Southwell two back then improved to wind-up second in a steeplechase (4800m) at Bangor-On-Dee last time out. Prospects look very bright.

Has been close without winning in small fields lately. Last start ran third when well supported in a steeplechase (4900m) at Southwell. Looks well suited here and is overdue.

Well held fresh in a steeplechase (4800m) at Bangor-On-Dee 50 days back when finishing fifth. Prepared to risk until he shows something.
