Encountered a small field last start and found Paper Mill far too good in a steeplechase (4800m) at this track, finishing 6 lengths away when the judge called a halt. Well-placed to take this out.

Did well to finish second two back in a steeplechase (4600m) at Worcester but could only manage fourth in a steeplechase (4800m) at Bangor-On-Dee last time, arriving 5 lengths behind the winner. Right in the mix.

Missed the frame the start before last in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter. Bounced back last time when he scored in a steeplechase (4600m) at Worcester. Ideally placed for going back-to-back.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4600m) at Worcester, beaten 8 lengths. Hard to have without further improvement.

Returns from a 204-day spell. Finished off last prep with a win in a hurdle (4800m) at Ffos Las, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Set to run well again while fresh.

Returns from a 221-day spell. Generally goes well when fresh, with two placings from three attempts. Kicked off last prep with a sound third in a steeplechase (5000m) at Hereford. Sure to make his presence felt.

Filled a minor prize two runs back in a steeplechase (4300m) at Kelso. Repeated the dose last time when second in a steeplechase (4600m) at Worcester, beaten 1.5 lengths. Worth another chance in this suitable contest.

Hit the minor money last time but beaten 25 lengths when third steeplechase. Encouraging run latest but keen to just watch this time.
