Fine over these fences in November; laboured from before three out when a well-beaten fifth to Haiti Couleurs in Irish National last April; that was in the mud, though, and his top efforts have been on good to soft; they include his neck second in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last March and, equipped with first-time cheekpieces after wind surgery, a 3m1f win from Jagwar at this year's Festival; able to race here off the same mark as last time (due to go up 6lb) and he wasn't stopping in either of those big races at Cheltenham; seriously considered.

Neck second in the Kim Muir here (3m2f, good to soft) 12 months ago; promise in defeat on his first two runs this season; not quite at the top of his game at Haydock last time but wind op since and cheekpieces are added; remains one to be interested in, especially given his Festival form.

Beaten just a neck in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft) last March and finished strongly for close third in the Silver Cup at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last month; every chance he'll be bang there.

Went down by a neck in last season's Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good to soft) after travelling much the best and then didn't appear to stay 3m5f in the Irish National; remains a chaser of interest and smacked of one who would come on for the race when beaten only 8l in the Grand Sefton at Aintree (2m5f); on the shortlist over what could be his optimum trip.

Cruised through the race when clear second in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good to soft) in March, beaten just a neck, then failed to stay in the Irish National (3m5f) next time; this drop back in trip could be a good move and he's made a winning reappearance in each of the last two seasons.
