Made it two jumps wins on the bounce when he scored by 2 lengths in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter last start. Has now won seven races from 16 jumps starts. Cannot be underestimated.

Not raced for seven months. Appeared just once last time in and finished seventh in a steeplechase (5000m) at Aintree, beaten 22 lengths. Makes strong appeal.

Resumes today after a spell of seven months. Last appeared when he pulled up in a 6400m steeplechase at Ayr. Key runner despite the lay-off.

First up from a spell today for a new yard. Has claims.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4600m) at Worcester, finishing seventh when partnered by today's rider Jack Tudor. Before that first-up run he went to the Christian Williams yard. Others rate better.

Was most recently at the races eight months ago. Closed the last campaign with a win in a steeplechase (4300m) at Kelso, getting home by 2.25 lengths. Reliable jumper with five wins to his name from thirteen starts.

Returns from a spell of eight months. Concluded last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4000m) at Sandown Park, beaten 41 lengths. Has since switched to the Dan Skelton stable. Reliable type with six jumps wins to his name.

Missed the placings in a steeplechase (4000m) at Worcester two back then did a better job to wind-up second in a steeplechase (4600m) at Worcester last time out. Not keen on his chances this time.

Failed to finish at his latest appearance in a 6800m steeplechase at Uttoxeter then went for a spell. Expect he will struggle.
